So, Monday was a public holiday, Tuesday and Wednesday saw me working from home (not a fan), and yesterday and today started of slowly at work before getting slightly out of hand in the afternoons.
So, basically, this week was a little bit of BS.
Anyway, I wore the Seiko SKX009K on Tuesday (that’s the dive watch with the blue and red bezel);

Later in the day, I got out the 1965 (December) model Seiko Seikomatic Weekdater, so that I could wear it on…

Busy week and I didn’t get everything done. That’s okay. We have the King’s Birthday public holiday on Monday and I’ll also be working from home on Tuesday and Wednesday, so that should be more than enough time to catch up.

Okay, this week’s watches.

The 2009 Sinn 103 St Sa Chronograph, with German day wheel, Mein Herr;

The 2020 Tudor Black Bay 58;

I switched over to the 36mm Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Small Seconds early in the week. Hadn’t worn it in some time, but it’s always a pleasure to wear. Such a detailed dial, the kind of which Oris just doesn’t do these days;

And yesterday, the 37mm Baltic…

Awful week.

We’ve been moving into our new office/workshop this week, so I was getting home quite tired by end-of-day. Thankfully, the flu that I’ve had over the past few weeks has finally subsided.

This was going to be a longer post but I don’t want to go into the details and I don’t want to lower the mood of this thread.
Our cat Bowie died suddenly on Wednesday evening and we’re all feeling devastated and miserable about it.

I’m always amazed and…
