Late post...Hawkinge today (on the bespoke iyonk strap, of course).

A little late but this marks the end of a 16-day streak for Vero, through sand, sea, smog, silliness and small children. File photo from before I abridged the NATO.

It's running now at as close to +/- 0 seconds per day as I can measure without instruments. I'm dreading the decision of what's next in the rotation because this watch makes most of my other watches feel like a step down.

A good day:

That picture is freaking me out. Those indices look carnivorous, like the fangs of a dangerous animal. Nice watch though, albeit slightly disturbing.

I see Omega has taken over Tudor Tuesday. Therefore, I'm wearing Casio today in protest

There's a barista at my local java joint who wears a gold toned Casio digital and every time I see it it makes me think of you. It also brings me back to the 70s when I first started seeing digital watches.

Actually it’s damascus steel — two different types of steel forged together and folded in certain ways to create patterns then acid etched to highlight the pattern.

Really beautiful stuff in person. I have a Damascus steel folding knife that's so pretty I don't want to cut anything with it. As an aside, Damascus steel, I'm told, is the real life basis for Valyrian steel in Game of Thrones.

Well, actually...it's because I'm still feeling lousy and needed something soothing and didn't need winding and setting and whatnot.

But really. Speedy doesn't even rhyme with Tuesday!

In ancient Greek, it is pronounced "Teesdee", which was a shortening of the original word in ancient Egyptian, which was translated from glyph into a word that sounded much like "Teedmaster".




In college, I minored in making up ridiculous bullshit explanations for things.

I believe you're right about that. You see it most clearly in the very few closeups they show of Longclaw.

Damasko should make a Damascus steel watch. Then a special version in colaberstion with tabsasco (sauce).

That would be hot.
