What starts your long weekend?

Wearing the 210 BASE on a cashmere strap. Very vintage, very comfy and very simple.

Mine is real. It doesn't have a flat "S" or a Mansour's Movement

You mean the one where it has to be 'serviced' by Mansour's himself so his customers don't realise he is just changing the battery?

Hey JJ,

I just ordered a Sub like yours with my AD...(I told him that the "S" MUST be FLAT otherwise I do not want it)...
Let's see if he gets that!

Not too sure about the FLAT "S" thing...that's just a matter of luck!! And it hardly really matters. Just different dial printers, that's all!! If you're getting the watch at a good price, just grab it, that's my advice....never mind the "S" font....it's not important at all and hardly even noticeable.

I can send you one, but I think a pic is better for you than some chocolate

Decided on this one for today. I like to end the week on a BIG note.

Who knows what tomorrow will bring. I can't think that far ahead.

To start my "long weekend"
How about up at 6 am, get ready for work, put on the Pam 104 and head to the office. Arrive a 7:30 ready for another 10 hour day.
BUT, tomorrow, I only will be in the office for 7 hours.

I visit when I can. My work schedule, while not physically demanding, is still very tiring. I'm pretty much a weekend poster.
