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

Friday is MF’n roam time.

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.
