Silver is very affectionate on her own terms, but Dunhill nee' Mittens is such an amazingly docile cat that I feel bad that that he doesn't belong to some big family. This is him settling down next to me after I danced with him to Stevie Wonder for about half an hour. He was purring the whole time.

Montblanc wants $650 for an alligator strap for their (admittedly very nice and cheaper than it should be) Heritage Ultra Slim. Just for the strap! It is, by the way, made by guess who. As are JLC, AP, and Patek straps.

I was expecting it to actually be around $500, but you'd be shocked with a replacement OEM gator strap can cost from a dealer.

I doubt it's more than $800.

I think it's going to look awesome, Sam!

Straps wear out. They are like tires. Just wear the damned watch the way it was made.

Third time is the charm?

I am finalizing my 50% 401k transfer, today. I decided to wear an outfit that is much more expensive than the transfer. I'm also taking "Scout" (my new partner) to school. And then I get dinner with my mentor, tonight. I said "no" to Colie, the other day. She hated it. Scout was indifferent.

Silver had to go to the vet, today, for an upper respiratory infcection. You would have thought she was being murdered. Now she is very sleepy.

Season three of The Expanse. It's a huge upgrade over already good seasons. Amazon did something right! Now all they need to to do is fix Amazon Logistics so that I actually get my packages.

It looks great!

I'm glad I wasn't the only person to notice that. The "digital" pocket watches are also wonderful.

That looks very nice, but I would still stick with the strap that came with it. I really like taper on straps for elegant watches, but I agree that it would be great on the GS. I received a mid-80s Leonard Paris 36x36" scarf that I found on eBay.

I have two Rolexes, two Omegas, a Cartier, a JLC, an Oris, and two Apple Watches (and other things, like G Shocks). The last thing I need is more watches. I think I just need more clothes with red hues. I wear a lot of pink dress shirts, and I have a Bonobos military jacket in Burgundy, and some red jeans: a start!

I'd love to have the grape, but I'm afraid that it wouldn't go with enough of my clothing.

I think this picture speaks for itself, about my day.

It certainly looks nice!

Apparently adding a second Apple Watch makes notifications fail on both, so I'm having to slum it.

Wait a couple years and the prices will come down on the new ones.

My mother finally got a smartphone (an XR), and had some kind of coupon through her private insurance provider for a free Apple Watch with phone. She didn't want the watch, so now I have both sizes. I prefer the 40mm for every day, but I'm going to like the 44 for running.

I really like the Apple Watch, and it's my most worn watch now, but it doesn't make me feel anything.

I almost always buy watches used. I'll take it off your hand, if it bothers you.

I just looked at your Saxonia pics again. I want one so bad. I could trade for one... I'm thinking about it. Congrats, Dave.

It looks like a good strap, just not the best fit. Maybe on the seiko (which is a nice watch, btw). I think the more sporting strap would look really nice on it.

Well sure, but why put a chunky strap on an ultra-thin watch?
