Boy am I dumb: I listened to I and II, and am about to listen to III (on Tidal). I have listened to this NM US first a few times, but the rice paper sleeves are so fragile that I hadn't noticed that, well: unplayed 45 single. My 40th birthday is December 31. I'll listen to it then.

The Drive Extra-flat already feels like it might be too thin. I couldn't imagine that. Well, not unless somebody sends me one.

I see my watches. Mostly Apple watches, but watches nonetheless. I don't have watches to show off, I have watches because I like watches. Also I need to tell the time. Also, ABtW can fuck off.

I think the new blue alligator looks nice with the Buzz Rickson's. And apparently it's 12 hours off, since the watch thinks it's the future.

I'm surprised: it was one of the very first automatic chronographs (I think Seiko beat them by a little bit), and was the movement that Rolex used for many years between the Valjoux 72 and their own in-house automatic chrono, for the Daytona.

I leave Tuesday morning to go see my partner. A 7.5 hour car trip. I always give the "good watches" to my mother, to keep, if I'm going to be gone for a while, but it caught me that my travel roll was sort of interesting, in a buckle/clasp branding perspective.

Dunhill's favorite place.

I'm not entirely sure what to think about this development. I did complain that the 1675 wouldn't unlock my computers for me, so I guess I can't complain too much!

I'm doing Linda McCartney cosplay, apparently (she had an FM, in that famous video).

You would almost think they got along.

The other one is back in her spot, too.

Dunhill has reacquainted himself with home, after a week in North Carolina. Silver has too, but she is in a box. I've gotta brush that Pendleton blanket. Dunhill goes out of his way to be a hallway obstacle in the dark.

I think this is a reasonable question. My vintage RS-1 and HD-800S don't get used much. My Bose NC700 get used about 18 hours a day. I'm always on the move. They are comfortable, they sound fine, and the noise cancelling is great.

Today’s watch. The last couple days were the Santos. No Apple Watch, or caring about what I eat, until I leave Greensboro this coming weekend.

I agree with SW: always get the bracelet.

The price was just Amazon Prime at $43.

Looks like the deal is over now.

For anybody who travels with watches. the brown Wolf roll is on a huge discount. It's quite nice for the money, assuming it's like the one I already have (I bought another).

I personally found the sound to be goopy, and there was a certain "kermit quality" to the midrange.

The Santos is probably my most worn watch that isn’t by Apple, but the Drive extra flat is a lot of fun.

I knew one of his first studio students (she was a full professor by the time I met her). I have some Bream in my personal catalog. RIP.

Today's watch. Gotta keep it fancy. Goes great with whatever today's "look" is.

Today. I'm still doing the "your dad in 1968,” but a different 1968.

Today's watch. Still doesn't unlock my computers. It goes great with today's look, which is "your dad on vacation in 1968."

Thanks! It’s been a great visit so far. We both tested negative for COVID last week and have essentially been in isolation, and we are taking normal precautions when around anybody (picking up good, etc). it’s been nice wearing a real watch, though I’d prefer if the Rolex would unlock my computers automatically.
