Man, some real ups and downs at work this week. Monday and Tuesday saw me struggling a little with where to begin each day as the work began mounting up.
Took a deep breath on Wednesday morning and remembered what somebody once said to me the last time I felt this overwhelmed; Start at the beginning, and finish at the end.

Anyway, onto this week’s watches. Last Sunday saw me wearing the recently serviced Submariner 5513, seen here with a couple of packs of Baci chocolates…

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;

Okay, so it seems that this week saw me wearing what I refer to as ‘expedition’ watches.
I usually give this name to any watch that’s small in size, and has a dark dial with just four numerals at the cardinal points of the dial and easy-to-read hands. Basically, an Explorer-type watch.
I’m not sure if this is something that’s widespread among watch collectors and wristwatch websites, but that’s the kind of design layout that I associate with post-War exploration.
Started off with the 36mm…

Busy week at work. TGIF, indeed! Last weekend saw the 38mm Seiko Prospex Solar Diver’s 200m (Ref. SNE585P) clipped to my wrist while I re-strung the clothes line;

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…
