Well, still here (after a bit of a gap I’m told) and if it wasn’t for the stuff I’ve written here – date and so on, I wouldn’t have a clue as to when I was here last. But anyway, I was thinking that although I have stacks of vintage models, for whatever reason I’ve never got round to Posting them on the site. No real idea why, but probably too many other things to do, whatever they were? though last year had a bit of a time out owing to memory issues again. So, I thought I should get round to doing it before they or I are gone.
I know I posted some on the odd forum, last year was it? but can’t remember where or precisely when. Long term memory is something about the very distant past for me these days and short term is a week or so and that’s about. Lucid today, who knows tomorrow? Also can’t find some of my old watches as apparently I sold them ages ago . . . . but I certainly can’t remember doing that.
In fact a friend showed me a website the other week and I didn’t recognise and the watch article he showed me was also news to me. It was, I found out later, one I’d Posted the previous week! Is that crazy or what? And the watch didn’t even have a name! A bit like me at times I’m told.
Anyway, while lucid I have yesterday or today, maybe earlier, Posted one of my vintage watches just so I can say I’ve done something recently. Now I’m going for a coffee. But before I go I’m toying with the idea of changing the web look – and if I do that WILL be fun as I find things – challenging – to say the least. So, Watch (this) Space.

Surprised them all – Back for a day maybe, so a quick Post on a new Diver watch that arrived a week? or so ago. Even though I wrote some of the Post a week or so ago unfortunately this respite may not last as I’m already feeling it, just reviewing the thing and managing the images. However, I’ll see how it goes.

Announcement –
The latest update is from a designated partner of the website founder, who is temporarily stepping back from managing “watchspace” due to health issues. The duration of this absence is uncertain, but we remain optimistic. We are however, working to update outdated links, although web management is not our expertise, and changes may happen without notice. The founder’s absence may also affect his memberships in various watch and art forums, but details are unclear.
The only statement for now is to “Watch this Space.”

Thought I was going to do some web site editing and possible add in some new Posts, but once again health issues are affecting what I can and cannot do. There is no doubt that over the past year I have had memory issues, especially short term, which is concerning to say the least. Despite ignoring these lapses, it is apparent that it could soon require a difficult decision regarding my blog/web site and I may no longer be able to manage it, going forward.
BUT – not yet! If I can help it – unless I forget to continue this typed line!!!!! 😁
As ever – Watch (this) Space.

Posted a couple of VERY similar Diver style models – One from mainstream brand Seiko and the other from microbrand Cestrian and they are difficult to separate. For features, quality and both what I consider affordable.
A vintage model for my next Post – and one of my more unusual vintage models. This is a Swiss ETA Automatic movement model that you don’t see around much. And this particular dial configuration is quite rare and the condition is very good.
