I love that first pic and the Supra from that era was a thing of beauty. |

I retired a few months ago and have found it a bit difficult to keep track of what day it is. If I am not working today and I don't have to work tomorrow, it could be Saturday! Every day could be Saturday. So I got a watch that shows the day.

Trump's actions? Watergate does not bother me, does your conscience bother you?

Just got my 2531.80 back from a service at Nesbit's. It's over polished but that's why it was cheap when I originally bought it and it's not going to be a safe queen anyway so I didn't mind. This was the first expensive watch I wanted ever since the Brosnan bond movies when I was a teenager. The bracelet is so pristine after the refresh that I haven't been able to bring myself to wear it yet because I know it'll just get all dinged up again lol.
