 I love a lot of vintage seiko divers and for sure there are a lot of iconic cases/dials out there. There is something about an SKX though that makes it stand out and be an icon on its own  |

Happy Monday. I got a sneaky surprise today.  Some of you may remember this shot from a watch challenge many years ago... Well it wasn’t my watch. Just a bold photo of a patient recovering from a very recent heart attack- minutes.... Well the owner of that watch shared it with me for that challenge and today has surprised me with it again as an indefinite share.  What a gift and what a great bunch of people. Thanks [mention]tritto [/mention] I still can’t wipe the smile off my dial. |

My pleasure, camrok. I'm sure it will save many more lives on your wrist than it would on mine. 🩺 |

7549 today. Inspired by a surfer I saw on the beach yesterday wearing a golden tuna on canvas. I know the guy by sight so I'll chat him up next time I see him. Expected nothing less from him, he looks like he's been plucked out from Hawaii. Him and his Toyota Landcruiser loaded with surfboards. Rob  |

‘Mini-Turtle’ today. Still on the hunt for the original turtle but for now I really enjoy looking down at this.  |

Busy day at work, new starter and it’s no fun inducting someone while distancing from them. Back home late and trying to sit in the garden with a glass of white but some of the mozzies are like the ravenous bugblatter beast of Traal.  |
