Some of us have been ordered off the streets so let's stay at home and enjoy the world of watches

Mar 17, 2020,07:13 AM
 

My good friend from college is home recovering from an eye operation. He has some painters working on his kitchen. They are all around 60 years old.


They went out for a fast food lunch yesterday, their car was stopped and they were interviewed by a local sheriff deputy. 

He said "You old guys are supposed to be at home, staying safe. No work, no fast food, go home. We mean it."

So they all went home (and he logged into WatchProSite) and the kitchen remains unfinished for now.

What a world this has become!

Dear friends I am sure you all have to deal with the situation that is going on in the world right now - one way or another. We are all affected to various degrees by what has happened and what lays before us. I apologize for my absence in the last few da...

And YES it is definitely a very beautiful watch. You know what, your post reminds me I have to take photos of some watches I want to post. This includes a great Hentschel I have to talk about, a rare bird that has joined the nest, and... some chiming ones...

It’s certainly been a very unsettling experience over the past few days. I have just been told by a friend that works in a hospital, that thieves have stolen sizeable quantities of toilet rolls and hand sanitizer from the hospital. We are certainly living...

Yes we are all shocked. The speed by which the situation escalates is overwelming and it is difficult to keep up. My wife is a doctor and she is already working a lot extra. Lets all be sensible and stay home. Flatten the curve! Thank you so much for your...

By keeping a positive tone here on WPS, we are making it an even more precious "safe space" for all friends seeking comfort or just a mental distraction at this time... An important, extra form of service until the world reopens -- hopefully very soon. Ta...

I appreciate your kind words. I have you and your wonderful country in mind. I was saying to my wife today; when the world is normal again, first we are going to Italy on a long vacation. My best thoughts to you and yours.

I don’t think anyone would begrudge us this escape. That’s what it is, always has been.

We are all dealing with disruption in our day to day lives, and hopefully for all of us here and our families it is merely a disruption. A beautiful watch, albeit a troublesome one I understand (or have I heard too many old wives tales of movement issues)...

Now needed even more Yes, the Repetition is a temperamental beast, but from what I hear it should be possible to make it work. I think I am really tempted by its understated design and the compactness which sets it apart from most repeaters. my best to yo...
