Ready for this week to be over so I can get back 2 hours of my weekdays!

Am I right in thinking that there is a unicorn of a Skipper out there nicknamed the "skipperer"? I just tried to google a few variations on that term and came up blank.

I believe you're thinking of the "Skipperrera", which is a nickname given to the Heuer Skipper Ref. 7754, the only Skipper model to come in the beautiful 1960s Carrera case. That and the Dato 45 Ref. 3147 are the inspirations for this one.

Sold it and missed it so much that had to get another - the Technos Sky Light.
