We continue to enjoy a cooler than normal summer. Cheers I found this heat most enjoyable, forecast did gave 70% possibility that hold next week would also be same. Not so much about cooler stuff, plenty of that here on north  Some new watch to my collection. Japanese heavy metal.   [Edit 1 times, last edit by ultimaThule at Jul 27, 2014 4:11:16 PM] |

That watch looks quite substantial, like in "heavy duty."

It sure is almost like one solid block of metal, pure tool watch.
----------------------------------------After removing three piece from bracelet, weight is still 165g (5,8 oz). But feels more like stones or few. Think this is mainly because of high case (14mm / 0,55 inc). Case it self is very perfectly balanced, but since bezel is also serious piece of steel, there simply is lot weight away from wrist and it gives very own "husky" wrist feeling. But still goes to sleeve very nicely  Cannot really yet give any opinion about accuracy, after on day (24h) seems to have almost +10s. Seems brutal but I did not really wind it up, just tiny shake to get it running. Also kept watch face up hold night. As much as I have experience about mechanicals, best position would be crown up (no wait index-3 up, this has crown on 4-clock, uo wait on those Aviagations did have tilted faces, well hope you get what I mean). So really think that this might be accurate enough to be called chronometer. Thanks for the link, sure is nice to see that this kind of craftsmanship is making a return there.  |

Some same theme, Mondaine it is watch that you found from every railway station on Swiss, what makes this unique is that second hand makes full circuit on every 58 second and then stop on top, so it can be adjusted to show very exact time once a minute.
----------------------------------------This is known as Stop 2 Go movement. Some seriously cool philosophy I say. On another hand (that model at least) uses two digit to show date, so it can be something like 39. day or something. Nope, not perpetual neither annual calendar.  More boobs:  |

Hello fellows
---------------------------------------- Sure is hot here, there was 35 day period when temperatures did cross +25'C (+77'F). Even now when autumn, still +22'C (+72'F) today which beats 99% of normal summer days here. Tomorrow should be hotter, even when days are getting shorten rapidly. Well, still did not stop me acting like there would be autumn or something. Got myself some nice wool jacket. Think they trim hold flock or something, jacket weight is more than two kilos (five pound).  Edit: some boobs. [Edit 2 times, last edit by ultimaThule at Aug 16, 2014 12:36:18 PM] |

Got some very nice hand-job, belt on pic I mean.
----------------------------------------For me, white as belt is out-of-guestion, it just associate something directly from hospital environment as itself. But this kind of white snakeskin-belt, which is purely something like western-genre by it's own weight, goes actually kind of neutrally on mundane office environment between white skirt and black trousers. I found It kind of demarcation line between two opposite, kind of smoothing edge via pattern familiar from nature. Some significant edge absolutely, but too much imho. Catch the eye, but does not hurt eye.  Some boobs [Edit 1 times, last edit by ultimaThule at Aug 19, 2014 5:55:11 PM] |

between white skirt and black trousers. The English language has once again injected some humor into your writing. Skirt: A woman's outer garment fastened around the waist and hanging down around the legs. In Finnish I think it would be "hame." Shirt: A garment for the upper body made of cotton or a similar fabric, with a collar, sleeves, and buttons down the front. Cheers
