·This watch has been on my wrist for the last 2 days except for about 3 hours this afternoon while my WM worked some magic on it, lots of 70's vibe with this watch.

··YaY!Sorry for the ad intrusion, but I always get a kick out of former wrestler Steve Austin's "That guy needs to chill out" comment at the very end of this.
Which then always reminds me of this old photo of him...
...which ties it back to WRUW for me today...YaY!

·I’ve had my alpanist on a uncle seiko BOR for the last year or so. It’s a very nice bracelet and looks nice on the watch but I find leather makes the dial pop a bit more. So anyway recently ordered my third strap from Archer watch bands out of California, many of their offerings are handmade in cali I think it’s a nice combo

·I agree but as they say ….”It still beats working for a living” 😀
I have been working from home for years as a director of an IT consultancy. I know what you mean. The grass is always greener though, and when I see cockpit photos of sunlit cloud tops I have to tell myself that day-in and day-out it wold lose it's allure and majesty. I tell myself that anyway... 😬 In the meantime I'll have to satisfy my itch with 20 year-old instruments in 40 year-old airframes below the flight levels. Other than some glorious luck in life that landed me some right seat time in a Lear, a Citation, and an ancient - not to mention barely airworthy - 707, I'll never see anything complex. In answer to what would be my first question, yes, my time in the Lear and 707 is both unlogged and was blatantly illegal. Only the Cessna time (single pilot jet) wasn't breaking a pile of rules. The 707 flight was interesting and terrifying, featuring a ground proximity warning that went off in the flight levels and a thrust reverser that didn't deploy while landing on moss-covered and wet runway in the third world, resulting in tremendous yaw and skidding that was brought under control during a barrage of profanity I'll not forget... and this was over 30 years ago. EDIT - for clarification, during landing I was not in the right seat and I had absolutely nothing to do with bringing that aircraft under control. I was sitting in the jump seat watching, rapt.
