still going - fighting my own battles here

1936 sterile Vertex

1WC Day 72

strap change - Buckle & Stitch also do the silicone single pass Zulu NATO in a moss green which looks pretty awesome. I love the orange, but definitely wanted the green as a fall back.

1WC Day 71

always get mini Oyster vibes from this, cracking little watch.

back to reality

1WC Day 52. Dessert theme, or posh doughnuts for breakfast. Goofy wrist, and the doughnuts are real.

1WC Day 51 - desert theme. Lizard and everything.

1WC Day 50 - abandoned art gallery

1WC Day 49 with garden tool (hand shears)

1WC Day 48 with Hood Ornament(s).

1WC Day 47 with statue(tte) of a bull

1WC Day 46 - the what could I be wearing shot… not one but four

and if you really have to know, from left to right:

• sterile 1936 Vertex, 30mm, recently serviced, would have been the watch for the challenge if it was completed in time.
• 1940s Cyma Triplex, 32mm, lovely watch, very distressed radium dial and hands but will not clean. One of my best finds this year.
• 1940s Universal Geneve, 32mm, great movement. Got a new clip on strap and this thing needs wearing.
• 1940s Eros Sport Waterproof, 28mm. Should be a Phenix movement but I cannot get at it as it’s a front loader and I’m not wanting to wreck it. It arrived couple of weeks back as a birthday present to myself, as it was languishing cheap on eBay with no love or bidders and is right up my street. Works well, large crack in glass but nothing too horrendous. I need to wear it, it’s hard just watching it.

1WC Day 45 - goofy with mochi. I’ve not been out much due to COVID-19 self-quarantine so this was all that was interesting in the freezer.

1WC Day 44, with insect(s) and goofy. This picture is just wrong.

1WC Day 43 with carbonated beverage, blade, kitchen sink, etc…

now to swap arms or something

1WC Day 42 with a potted plant. This one is called Bob.

1WC Day 41 avec une revue

1WC Day 40

1WC Day 39 mit hammer

This is my trusty geological hammer. I have had this since I was an 18 year old undergrad, and it’s been with me around the world as I’ve taken huge chunks out of it. It’s also a great tool for archaeology, my father used it on a couple of volunteer Roman digs in Essex. Definitely sorts the wood from the trees.
