It's a blue linen shirt day (91 degrees right now), so the Phylida Seamaster 300M homage gets the wrist. Had a massage at the chiropractor, so I had to get the palm tree shot!

Happy "Blue" Monday! A rainy, "Blue" Monday here today, so brightening it up a bit with my Casio Marlin/Duro MDV106B with the beautiful blue dial and bezel. This one reflects the mood of the room, blending in with subdued lighting, while the life of the party in bright lights. Perfect for a rainy Monday.

Yesterday I visited a semi-local indoor rummage sale market, where I stumbled upon a small stall dedicated to vintage watches. He had a number of decent quartz offerings, and a handful of automatic pieces. I threw £20 at this, a strapless Seiko 5 Automatic with a Silver dial, in seemingly good condition. The automatic movement works, but it’s not holding a charge for very long. Like, seconds when I should expect hours. I’ve dated it online as a piece from (most likely) 1981, and as such it isn’t equipped with a manual wind function. I’ve a strap on the way so I can test it properly with a wear, and I was going to hold off posting until that arrived, but randomly I saw @Brian McGuire is wearing this exact watch yesterday, so I thought I’d pipe up now! 😊 Like me, it’s old and likely in need of lubricant. To be fair, the seller's stall had a sign recommending all purchases have a service after the transaction, so I knew what to expect. In gently shaking the watch to charge, I may have shook something loose, so I’ll be dropping it off at a Watch Repair place for a service quote. It’s likely to be more than the cost of an outright purchase, but we’ll see. If it’s worth repairing and renovating, I’ll do that. If not? I’m only out twenty quid. I’ll post more details when I have them.

In running with @Jeff Wilkinson’s suggestion in my post yesterday, I’m going to take the wrist role to the next level now.

About to set sail, and here’s my inventory for the week. Those who know me already know what’s on my wrist!
