Great post, Happy New Year

2022 was a particularly hard year for me. 


In that year, I questioned myself a lot, and was broken, to be refixed.

These 3 watches accompanied me most:



I took a year off studies, because of an daunting incident where i whistleblowed a case of medical fraud/corruption. Someone took revenge on me later. 

To support myself, I worked in landscaping 5 days a week. This watch accompanied me, through the hardships of cutting large trees, challenging terrain, sweat and blood. 

I don’t regret what I did because I saved the government a lot of money meant for Aboriginal healthcare. I paid the price for it and took the fall.  




My old trusty Blancpain FF Bathyscaphe which I love the most. I gave it away to my dad-in-law as a peace offering. I had failed him in 2021 resulting in my hardships in 2022. I wore this almost daily. I gave it away to remind myself, I have to give away the thing i treasure the most as a price to pay for my failure to keep my mouth shut even if it means turning a blind eye to dishonest doctors in the healthcare system. I couldn’t do that. 




And then I recalled a time when I helped a friend pay for his costly legal fees, in the 4 zeros range, when he was bleeding from it. I got my money back for secretly helping him, in his hard times. He survived. I took the funds and bought this for myself to remind myself what I am made of.

The DeepSea had some partners in Q1, but the arrival of the lefty by the end of April22 changed it all. Every day starts with an open water swimming, wearing the DeepSea. The Lefty takes its wrist parking spot during the day. The IDF seals issued vintage ...  

This year...

You just took us to visit a modern art museum. JLC has been a sleeper for so many years. I wonder what will happen if someone like J.C.Beaver will acquire the company.

This would be my this years trio....-!!
