I intend to.

I do have a backup lot though - somewhat older and fitted with the wrong bracelet. Should be fitted with a lobster-type bracelet however, not a fixo-flex that is too narrow for the (hidden) lugs. Mind, it would sit well on a nice leather strap...

The one I missed out on was a PR100 dating from around 2000-ish.

I am thinking along the lines o a Citizen Eco drive, although the Caravelle I have will probably last me until the inevitable. Gives the family something to say "You aren't going to bury him with that, are you?"

I was going for Donner Summer doing her disco thing.

Which one ?
She did some classic stuff

Wasn't that From Russia With Love?

The Beretta failure was in From Russia with Love, that Krebbs woman stabbed him with her poisoned heel, like some demented platypus.

I was being eaten alive by midges at the campsite so I was forced to go to the pub.

Yup, I remembered it right.

I do have the book sitting on the shelf behind me, although it's a while since I read it.

The bun fights for Citizen Eco-drives are equally vicious...

Reckon the Seiko and Citizen automatics (1975 and 1977 vintages respectively) I picked up will probably both outlast me - they are solid workhorses both. And quite stylish in that bonkers mid-70s way.

I have my grandad's banana-cased Tissot which, while rather battered, still works and keeps good time. Unfortunately, it's too big to sit comfortably on my petite wrists. Which is why I have a hankering for a Tissot.

Bizarrely, Mr Hebe has just started watching this one.
I decided to scale my coffee consumption back to pre lockdown levels. The headache is building.

Driven to drink by the midges!
That's a new one.

I don't know, I was looking at some eco-drives in my jewelers the other day at sub $150 new.

The cheapest ones in the jewellers in town were £190-something. But have you SEEN the ladies' ones? It's like wearing a Wurlitzer on your wrist...

I just don't let the watch thing take precedence over bikes and camera gear.

I am definitely NOT allowed any more camera gear or bicycles...
