It's almost like debating saddles. Everyone likes different things. Admittedly, I'm coming from the perspective of small vintage ladies' watches, so what works for me might not work for a bloke wearing a much bigger timepiece.

It'll be fine. Failing that, I can lend you Mesdames Poppy & Lexi. They are fully-qualified taste testers

There's a few white bits (freezer burn?) but apart from that it's looking OK. By the time I've cooked it, added it to pasta and a spicy pasta sauce I won't notice if it is off.

Also that's me finished with the C*****mas rubbish. Apart from collecting the flowers for mum's birthday on the 25th and getting some milk and a fresh loaf, I'm not going anywhere near the shops or touching any more wrapping paper.

Only another 371 days to go 'till the next one.

my boat for the night crossing to nod land has hooted all aboard 🚢

 

[Gravity Aided]

Nice! Any idea of what might grab your fancy?

What suits my taste and means in online auction. Simpler and more elegant the better.

I've done me tax return

I know it's a tad too exciting for the mundane thread but.....

Well done!

Mmmm, something like a late 60s "Stylist" might suit the bill, then... There are some really nice ones in that range, and they tend fly under the radar compared to some of the other models.

While I'm quite partial to a bit of 70s bonkers funkiness, my general preference is also for something less flashy. Restrained good taste, i think is the best way of putting it. At least as a bloke, you don't have to deal with the "shrink it and pink it" thing...

Anyways, time to bank the fire for the night and head off to the Land of Nod via Hot Bath.

Nunnight one and all xxx

Replacement spring bars are plenty cheap enough, so wouldn't worry about it too much.

I don't mind leather watch straps and I have a few dress / formal watches on leather, but I tend to get very sweaty under them during the summer. My preference is for stainless steel bracelets. I've got a mix of link and expandable ones. The latter are a minefield because they're not always the most comfortable. They're commonly known as hair-pullers...

Funny, I've one no-name expandable that's super comfy, and a fix-o-flex one that's a fecking bloody nightmare. The fix-o-flex is going in the bin and will be replaced by a Milanese mesh bracelet.

I have an expandable metal strap like that. Having hairy arms it's a bit ouchy!
I went away from leather straps after one caused a rash . I think the strap was a one off as I can wear them now ?

Morning.
We are going oop Norf today.
We put the Hedgehog out in his hotel yesterday as the weather has turned mild . One reason is that we will be away for a couple of days and don't have anyone to look after it. The Hedgehog has been getting bored and has been climbing the bars. We have looked after it during the cold period and it now has a shelter to return to if it needs to. I will look in the hotel this morning to see if it found its way out .

I don't have a watch ⌚

I haven't worn a watch since I retired seven years ago.
