Patek, sun and brunch

Lockdown has been tough but there have been some good aspects, spending more time with the family, lots of sunshine, and eating better, more home cooked and less junk food.

Great pics Neil!

You're definitely right about eating better during the shutdown, but it's also been a challenge to refrain from over-consumption of alcohol!

Finally got a chance to sport my 5980r this past weekend, after 2 months in the safe. It was a gloriously sunny day in our neck of the woods so I had to take it out for a spin.

Just before lockdown happened, I put all of my watches bank in the bank vault. Just kept a Grand Seiko (Snowflake) at home.

Now i'm really missing them....

Amen to that! Very similar experience during this pandemic, been blessed to spend time with family. That watch is just stunning!!! It’s on my wish list. I prefer this to the SS I think, but I have never had the opportunity to try on either in person. Just curious as to how you like the RG compared to SS?

Yummy brunch!!
