I would suggest getting a can of Cape Cod cloth, Chris. It works extremely well for polished surfaces. I use it on the sides of Rolex and on my Reverso. I don't mind "real" scratches, especially on brushed finishes, but the micro scratches on polished surfaces drive me crazy.

I had nothing but bad luck with Safelite and non-OEM glass, back when my ex-wife's car was vandalized over and over.

That too.

It could be worse; have you seen what happens to gold Royal Oaks?

Happy birthday, Dan!

You should have stuck with the lightsaber.

No, that's Charles Barkley.

I disliked the first season. The second seasons has picked up more of the fun of the books, and the casting choices are settling for me.

You're always a pedant, never a bride.

When did Gene become a worm farmer?

It's probably just the suspicious amplification you are using.

Looks great! Watches should be worn, and scratches are part of wearing them.

JH-13.

Liters sounds like a lot.

Did the Chanel arrive, Chris? Did you get the Seiko bracelet sized? Need more pics! I'd keep it. You never know when you might add some new pieces. It's why I didn't get rid of any of my winders (two 4 watch and a 6 watch), despite only having a couple automatics, now (the rest is manual-wind, not quartz).

Happy birthday, Al!

I think you are right, but it doesn't sound compressed, to me. Broken was always a bit quiet compared to TDS, so I think they just made it match the later stuff, which is understandable.

Agreed. I've never owned Maggies*, but I've heard a few models a few times, and they have sounded best when moved well into the space. *yet. Not apartment friendly.

I can't wait to hear the Focal stuff. I'm pretty damn happy between the HD-800 and RS-1, though. Wish I could really use my speakers.

Not quite as cool as Chris' stuff (I can't wait to see the double-watch/double-wrist shot!), but I did finally get the NATO for my Speedy. The polished steel version was out of stock, and will be for a while, so I asked for the PVD hardware version. Clockwork Synergy shipped me the wrong strap, at first, but the right one arrived a couple days later (before I even mailed out the incorrect one, BTW: Clockwork cares about customer service). I think this is the way I'll wear the Speedmaster, from now on. The watch is too thick to go under a dress cuff, anyway, and the 1171 tends to grab hairs.. Super comfy, and I really like how it looks. The GMT is back on the Oyster, but the Speedy looks really nice on the dark blue, too.

I finally got around to downloading the digital copies of the definitive versions of the NIN's Broken, The Fragile, and TDS. I don't know when I'll have the vinyl (along with The Fragile Deviation I), but the digital versions are the shit.

There had better be a fucking second season.

Especially if you have a Westworld robot to play it for you, in the nude.

I am pretty jaded, when it comes to drinking, after all.
