Will do, will do

I was not supposed to work today, but a colleague is off sick, so I was called in. Just saying "YES" on the phone secured me like US $ 100 and on top of that I get 50 % extra salary every hour for the short notice call + the Saturday extra salary.

I need more of those, and I can buy my second Rolex

Since none of my other watches have been able to find any wrist time then I'll be wearing the only Rolex I have this weekend - the LV. My parents will be in town visiting so it will be family time all weekend. However, next weekend COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON BEGINS!!!

Actually my parents pay no attention to watches and wouldn't notice what I was wearing. I showed my Dad my Rolex after I bought it and he couldn't understand why I would want to purchase one for that kind of money. I certainly did not inherit my love of watches from my parents. Maybe is was adopted

Going to a surprise 25th wedding anniversary party for my next door neighbors this evening. It's semi-casual, so this should work.

Started the weekend with this one:



Then had this one sized and strapped it on for a few hours:



But tonight we're going to a 50th anniversary/75th birthday party for some good friends (not a surprise) at Morton's of Chicago (this one's in Bethesda, MD) so I'll most likely go with this one:



The GMT will most likely go back on tomorrow.
