Holding off as until last day is confirmed, IT being near end of facility teardown.

Retrenchment benefit(?) is like a year of salary, so there’s that.

Just glad that I received news with teammates and rest of company, can’t imagine getting this on my own.

Company folded, being layed off sucks.

Yeap, The Watch Steward in post is like MN. I’m partial to the “G Series” as that doesn’t need spring bar removal to change out.

Buuuut I think one can’t get away from elastic webbing itself stretching out. Left is ~3 month old, One on the right stretched to ~1.5x it’s original length, had to trim it after ~5 years of use .

edit: added length-of-use

• Lather: Stirling - Port au Prince - Soap

Two pass, close but not too close shave. No nicks, cuts nor irritation. Finally able to go across the grain on pimple~d spot.

Love me some good smelling grass of Port Au Prince, finished with herbal flowers of Saeryan.

Lolz on imgur autotagging 🦵 as NSFW.

It was itchy from day 5, and I do love me that crunch(?) of long~sh beard against sharp blade.

Good prep for Barbenheimer.

Cardamom in Dranks might be a bit much just before going to bed, oh well.

But yeah, I passed on the Brown Weave 1959 Alpinist because of the not-that-improved 6R35 movement. Even though that dial is mesmerizing IRL.

:) as it happens sarb017 has been stored like so for about a week now, lost a minute since I last set against NTP/internet time servers. Been winding once daily and amazed by the huge improvement of losing a minute daily before maintenance.

Wrist times been dominated by SBPK003 in new-watch-honeymoon-phase.

Nylon Coffee is skate or bicycle away from home.

They also drop freshly roasted beans on a vending machine so I can pickup beans anytime. I prefer african/floral variety so skipped their South American heavydeliver-to-home-subscription.

Wanted GMT complication, 'twas between this and MM200 GMT.

SBPK003 edged the MM200GMT as it didn’t use the high~er beat rate Cal6R64 as used in Sharp Edged Presage GMT.

Didn’t hurt that I liked the “hooded/shrouded” bezel look of the sumo vs bare and exposed one on MM200GMT.

15 years back, I don’t think I’d pick up a quartz watch with jerky-seconds-hand-that-reminds-me-of-a-school-wall-clock.

<self-justification>

For flyer/traveller/true GMT’s, I think a solar quartz movement makes a whole lotta sense. As setting time and date on flyer GMT’s a pain, given that you’d need to go through all-of-them-hours to set date. At least on caller/office GMT’s, one can set date separately.

Of course, if you only have that single watch, above won’t be an issue, but who does that subscribed to Watches@lemmy.ml :).

HAQ? I might have been tempted by the Citizen chickenThe Citizen, especially the Indigo Washi Paper dial one.
