Took a chance on this 1966 561 Connie a few years back and paid about £550 on eBay plus postage and tax.



With the help of @kaplan, sourced correct hands a new crystal and a bracelet and service and sold on the incorrect hands.



A labour of love but happy with it now 🤞

I had to get a left rear molar removed last November. Filling fell out and some of the tooth broke off. It was the worst pain I've ever experienced. Said I could reschedule and get work done on it, but I said just pull it and I was out of there in about 30 minutes. Numbed it up pretty good, still felt it a bit, though. Went to a dentist for the first time in a very, very long time last week and it went well. No major issues, no cavities, x-rays look good, good gums, some tartar. Told to keep up with what I'm doing, but I do need to start coming regularly and I plan to.
Lucky you, I didn’t fare well avoiding the dentist but last year I had a series of unexpected surgeries that put everything on the back burner. I ended up with a bit of surgical ptsd couldn’t even contemplate a dental cleaning but I now have all the hardware in for my first implant. As a PSA a mix of Motrin and Tylenol work well as they work two different brain chemicals but these damn anti biotics kill me. I can’t find one that doesn’t impact me negatively. Anyway hopefully my story has made someone avoid putting off dental checkups cause damn that was painful

My Seiko 7009-818LR on these straps I just made with RMG Pomari calf leather. Still need to edge paint and stitch though.

Knew I’d be getting a lot of steps in today so wearing the only health monitor I own. Wife wanted me to get an Apple Watch for the step tracking, O2 sensing, etc, etc. I finally caved and “let” her buy me this for my birthday a few years ago. Sequent Electron 2.2 LE NASA

Starting the day


Lume


Afternoon around 14500 steps

How do you like it? I thought about getting one of these for awhile but never pulled the trigger.

If i wear it enough it does everything its supposed to including generate enough electricity to keep it pretty well charged. I enjoyed wearing it with the family at Disney World a few months ago where every day was a long hike through theme parks.

It came with a recycled ocean plastic strap that was a little stiff for my liking. I swapped that out for one of their rubber straps which is more comfortable if you’re really using it for exercise and getting hot and sweaty.

If i wear it daily but not super active while wearing it (desk diving, etc.) then the battery does run down and it needs to be recharged with the plug in charger after a few weeks. But when it’s in the watch box it goes into hibernation mode after 24 hours and the battery lasts many months.

Basically I just pull it out when I know I’m going to have a physically busy day and it’s fun to wear.

Thanks! I might take another look. I sometimes get serious about counting calories for training but I just haven't cared for other fitness trackers.
