I let my two dogs, Fergus and Charlie, out this morning as usual to “do their business”. Not so usual, actually a first, Charlie returned carrying a deer’s head. I now need to tramp out in the snow to find the rest of the deer and remove it so if doesn’t become the luncheon buffet for Fergus and Charlie. The right tools for the jobs....an indestructible ETA 2824-2 powered Invicta ref. 9937, a pickaxe and a chainsaw, as the deer is undoubtedly frozen in the ice and snow...

Charlie returned carrying a deer’s head!?! Is Charlie a hyena?

More like a wolf. He’s happy to stay inside during the day. Loves to go out at night and howl at the moon.

104 i Matte arrived, fresh from RGM who regulated it under warranty. Hopefully, it will run true now. This is my third 104. My first one (the polished version) I sold to buy the special edition matte watch. My first of the matte editions had a bad movement in it and Watchbuys replaced the watch. This one (the replacement) has been running slow from the get-go, so, hopefully, RGM got is squared away.

Picking up a client as she has something she needs to talk to me about. She said “I’ll be right out” which means at least 20 minutes. This is just a filling up time pic

That's surprising and disappointing to hear about your 104s. I've had one for a couple of months now (same dial as yours, but polished case) and couldn't be happier. During that time I've worn it more than any tool watch I own, using it for navigation timing (while hiking) and bread baking. The 104 features a chronometer-grade Sellita movement (but not certified) so your timekeeping expectations should be high. Mine has consistently ticked along at +4sec/day -- very chronometer-like indeed. I hope you get the fix you needed!

Foreground Speedmaster, background black lump.

A closer look at said lump.

Hope so, also. My first one (The polished version) was spot-on perfect. The second one had a bad crown/winder. The current one was slow and RGM regulated it. So hopefully it is good. If not, I'll sell it.

Funny, my least expensive watch, my LIMES Endurance is spot on to the second every day - it has the same Selitta movement as the 104.
