Probably not a big surprise that the Pre-Moon has been on my wrist this week.

One of the nice things about working at my first real job was that we could* use the mastering studio after hours to listen to music. High end (at the time) Genelec setup. It was great. *I mean, we weren't supposed to, but IT had master keys.

You can choose gold on just the strap (the bracelet adds significantly to the cost on a gold watch!), but agreed; it's the best bracelet on any of my watches, and I include the modern Oyster bracelet in that.

This is something else, but from around the same time. It's a long story, and a stupid one. It was just three days. Today, I walked out to my car and discovered this. Of course the parking lot camera doesn't work. If you look at the dent on the door, you can see where the person got out and tried to "rub the dent out." Idiot. I have rental coverage up to $50 a day, so I chose "luxury." I hope it's something decent.

I mean, shit, I've worn my Reverso swimming. It'll be a while before I buy another watch. I'm swimming in them, but will do. Santos, today.

I really think a Saxonia is my next watch. God, it looks amazing even in potato quality photos, Dave

Got out of jail. 6 months of bullshit over with.

Stain clean up is easily resolved with a mattress cover. And agreed: the "durable" section suggests whomever made that hasn't had a good inner spring mattress. My mattress was $2500 on substantial sale 10 years ago, so maybe I just have a really good inner spring mattress. Several dozen people have slept on it since I got it, and they invariably say that it's incredibly comfortable, upon flopping on to it. I just realized that what I thought was just giving mattress advice turned into bragging. ?

I've slept on most of the "internet" mattresses over the last few months. They mostly feel the same, to me (with the exception of a Puffy, which was very comfortable for sleeping). I'm still very happy with my 10 year old Sealy plush euro pillow top. It's halfway through its warranty period (not that I would expect it to be honored for anything, but it suggests that it was made for longevity), at this point, and hasn't changed much (I rotate it every 6 months or so). Any of the memory foam mattresses are relatively terrible for sex, if that is a consideration.

I have experimented, since your post, and I'm still not sure how one fucks it up.

I know how to put on a watch.

It would be really nice on an Omega.

I have a tegu lizard strap from the 1960s. It's a watch strap, and seems fine. Why would you pull hard on a watch strap?

“Weakened” is certainly relative.

I just wear shell straps. I expect them to last a long, long time.

Keep in mind that Rolex isn't really a for-profit company, in the normal sense of the term. I prefer pin buckles anyway.

Do you mean tool less? My GMT2c has micro adjust, but it requires a tool.

A leather strap touching the head of a watch between the lugs is totally normal. It mostly means that it fits.

Gl Pease Maltese Falcon that I jarred almost a decade ago. It’s very good.

I know that 1675s have gone below 100m in actual use.

The same Durbar in an ancient Parker that I refurbished.

I think I'm having a mid-life crisis. Where the fuck am I supposed to be at 38 when I performed with a top-10 US orchestra when I was 17*? Nowhere good. I should buy a Porsche, I guess.. *not full time, but more than once.

Oh, they definitely are. The GMT2c, for instance, has a thinner back than the Sub, which is why it is rated the way it is. The GMT2c will easily go as far as the sub is rated, and the Sub will go way, way further.

Triplock on the GMT 2 definitely stands up to swimming. Unfortunately, my skin doesn't, even with sunscreen,

Michael Collins is being interviewed on CNN. I put my pre-moon Speedy on.
