Day 4 with the Glashütte Original SeaQ 39,5mm in green. Had saved up for this for some time and it is my absolute favourite watch by far. I would take this over a Submariner or any steel sports watch any day of the week.

The green dial is fabulous!

Finally cool enough weather for the convertible :


echo/neutra Cortina 1956 HW Chrono.

I saw a bumper sticker on a Triumph 3A at a vintage race a while ago.
It read: All of the parts falling off this car are of original British manufacture.
But surely Lotus bolted their autos together better than that!

Bracelet is on order. Rubber strap looks cool (I think, at least), but sweats like a horse. Plus I’m sort of all about bracelets now, after ages of only natos on my steel watches.

My 1861 on its original replica NASA strap for today…wore it to a motorcycles & coffee event where I displayed my 1999 Manco mini-bike [with original papers] which I purchased new in 1999. NOTE: Mad Dog action figure sold separately.

Yeppers…it’s my Pro-Tec skateboarding helmet. Interesting that you mention Super Dave [Osborne]…one of my skateboarding buddies [who is also a fellow former Navy rotorhead] calls me “Super Dave” because of that helmet. Although it’s somewhat similar to Super Dave’s stunt helmet…it’s more similar to Peter Fonda’s motorcycle helmet in the movie “Easy Rider”…and that’s why I purchased it…to be like Peter Fonda. 👍

LATE ENTRY @Canuck regarding comparison of helmets:

Super Dave’s stunt helmet…



Peter Fonda’s motorcycle helmet…



Mad Dog’s skateboarding/mini-bike helmet…

My experience has been very good.. nothing ever falling off, but it’s a modern (2005) Lotus, an Elise, a lightweight mid-engine that’s been quite reliable during 14 years of ownership.



Vintage British cars are another story!!
