I wore this yesterday so let's focus on the weekend strap change - copying an idea from the last NY GTG ( sorry I forget who! ) I got a few Autodromo straps. The watches leave me meh but a great selection of racing straps... Also, isn't it cool when you just notice something 'new' in a watch that you didn't know was there...

14270 today. Although the only thing I am "exploring" is dark recesses of the house, trying to find the dog's invisible fence collar!
Retired on the 31st of March and am already into more projects and helping out than I can cope with. The watches I wear most of the time may take on a different complexion than when I was in banking. It's all vintage all the time around here. When the going gets tough, this old Glycine gets going. It's survived hunting, fishing, and chores for many years as the original knock-around watch I've had since I was young. Been on the same $1 strap picked up at Omaha Surplus in Fort Worth, Texas sometime back in the 1980s. We're remodeling the main bath in our 118-year-old period piece of a house. I'm about to tackle the rest of the bead board Mrs. noelekal wants on the wall. She's a big help of course.
