Thanks for the offer, appreciate it. Will have to skip it this time though.

Yes, we’re flying from Olbia [emoji106]

Yes, just for a few days. It’s a beautiful island! But I don’t need to tell you that. Hoping the weather will pick up again tomorrow [emoji41]

... and thankfully in the fridge too [emoji3]

Check out those fines [emoji38]

Just picked this up. A Timex MK1 Mechanical, a simple good looking watch competitively priced. From the Timex Archive series of watches, this is reminiscent of the “camper” from the 80s and “sprite” from the 70s. First impressions. Quality is good. Nicely finished 36mm stainless steel case and a well printed dial. Check out the serifs on the numerals. Lume is nothing amazing, that doesn’t bother me though. I think the acrylic crystal is great, gives the watch a period charm. The 20j movement is hacking, another plus. Although at this price point it won’t be anything amazing, a Seagull perhaps. I will check accuracy and power reserve over the next few days. Strap is robust and the quick release useful. However I’ve put mine on a simpler one. So far so good! Case: Stainless steel Dial: Green Dimensions: 36mm Water Resistance: 50 meters Movement: 20 jewel hand wound Strap: Canvas, quick-release

Very nice! Great job and write-up!

Sounds great! Looking forward to the price estimates [emoji6]

They are just throwaway items these days. Post it to me and I‘ll dispose of it for you [emoji2]

Amazing amount of work! Incredible achievement. Insane [emoji106]
