Streak Comes to an End

Today is my 47th birthday and it’s the first time since 2017 I’m celebrating without a new Rolex. I picked up the Air-King last year and the black GMT the year before.

It’s all good though. I’m enjoying my small gathering of watches - this one in particular of late. There are a few on my radar but I’m not in a big hurry. It’s 75° on the back patio. Going to eat some gyros for dinner, have a few drinks, going to whip up on the family on a game of Settlers of Catan and maybe check the time here and there.

Have a great evening and stay safe!

Happy Birthday Mike.
Sounds like you are set for a nice day albeit without a newRolex.
That beautiful BLRO should hold you over til next year.
Stay safe too.

Happy Birthday...

I too am focused on enjoying what I have. I have bought a CASIO or two for fun...but that's it.

Love that Pepsi!

Such a great game! I was on the 8 and 6 for wheat and had the two wheat for any resource. I won pretty easily. Come to think of it, maybe my fam just let me win for my birthday.

Ironically five minutes into the game I swapped the Pepsi for the Explorer II!

Happy Birthday, Mike! Sounds like a perfect way to spend the evening. You're absolutely right, there is no rush--the next watch will be waiting for you when you're ready.

Happy Birthday! Have fun with your game. I may go old school tonight with a game of Risk. There's nothing like seeking world domination during a pandemic!

I've really been hot after a dress watch for the last couple of years. The rose gold Cellini Time is at the top of that list, but I haven't been able to escape the pull of a JLC Master Control w/ date. On a sports watch I'm thinking really hard on a Sea-Dweller.

One of my favorites! The Ukraine is weak; feeble.

By the way, great avatar pic. I wore that same unit patch a long time ago!

Happy Birthday Mike. Sounds like a great birthday with dinner, drinks and a watch or two. Both the Pepsi and Explorer II are great! Maybe next years birthday will bring two watches!
