Oh well, at least we packed in a ton of activities earlier in the trip.

One of my gifts under the Christmas tree this year was a new leaf blower/vacuum. Trying it out this afternoon called for the toughest of beater watches and a beater yard work shirt.

One of my favourite buys of 2023 - smooth bezel, rattly Jubilee, and patina!

I'm finishing the month - and the year 2023 - with my Universal Geneve White Shadow 866101 from 1976. Finally I took the time to get it on the UG bracelet (the one you saw yesterday on the Longines I was wearing then) - the change-over was a bit fiddly, but worth it. So I can see the year out with an "ultra-slim" watch, which is a good contrast to all the sweets & food from the holidays ;-)

Have a great start into 2024, everyone!

1960’s Accurist Super Waterproof 300 on a new bracelet today…. Wish I could find some closer fitting end links but at least the new strap is solid. The original was not safe anymore.
