After midnight and all is well, seemed to have survived the worst of Covid. Just need to beat the fatigue it's left me with, onward and upward!

Had this returned from my watchmaker after repairs and service and it was doing well + 6 daily rate which was working out well, wore it a week or so and suddenly the daily rate jumped ( 70 to 87 seconds) in all positions so back for a closer look, now returned at a much better rate.

I heard our weather here in Maine is related to the hurricane. There are leaves already changing, however, so yeah, the fun is coming to an end.

Even there? I’m in southern Alberta, Canada, north of Montana, and am noticing the changeover here too. Depressing it is because friggin winter isn’t far off. If only California was our 11th province😉
11th province-LOL.
The shift to autumn weather is usually rather swift here, and often coincides with the kids going back to school/Labor day here in the states. The crickets began chirping their fall songs in the evenings late last week. Weakly at first, but now on full song. and watching the sunrise shift its point further south day by day. Yep. The slide towards autumn sure has begun. But autumn’s my favorite season.

Wearing this today, forgot what day it was.....

Always a lot of play in the light. Sometimes I think of other watches I could have bought instead, but others I'm glad it was this.

A recent pickup while on holiday.
Wasnt even able to see it in the metal locally, was pleasantly surprised that under most lighting its actually a fairly subdued colour and that the 5-link and updated bezel and crown knurling really did solve all of the gripes I had with the BB58. My wallet was perhaps a bit less pleasantly surprised...

This, still. My Rolex Date-Just with my favourite dial, ever. I’ve had it since new, 35 years ago. It gains one second per day, but I’m fine with that.
