I just figured I’d work until 4:45p as my two cohorts are on vacation but at 2 i found out it’s tradition to take off early. Who am I to buck tradition.

Enjoying this 1940s Breitling Datora 785 18kt gold triple date with a Valjoux 72C movement.

I think these are amongst the prettiest designs of the era and still look beautiful today

Family arcade time!

Yeppers…the good old “family arcade time”. 👍

Hope you didn’t embarrass yourself [or anybody in the family] regarding any of the arcade games like I did several years ago…

Medium length version: The wife unit and I took our kid units to a local arcade where we discovered there was a helo simulator arcade game. Our youngest, Mad Dog Jr., proceeds to shoot his mouth off to everybody in the arcade that Dad [Mad Dog] is a former military helo pilot and that I would “whoop” anybody. Honestly, I figured I would…even though I hadn’t flown a helo in probably 20 years. Anyway, I think I crashed probably 10 or 11 times*** and got “whooped” by some 5 year old punk. I think that 5 year old punk’s parents owned the arcade or something…so…you know…that’s not really fair. 😁

***LATE ENTRY: Could have been 12 times…possibly 13.

When you don’t have a Speedmaster yet and you’re going to the Griffith Observatory, you grab the next best thing. The Seiko “Speedy”

My well preserved Ultra Chron is about fifty years old ……



….. and my well worn hall floor is about 110-120 years old (in a very modest part of North London)
