While your adventures were formidable, what you undertook at home was even a greater challenge, both physically and mentally. I wish you continued peace and comfort knowing you’re carrying on a great legacy. Happy holidays.

Steve, thanks so much for sharing all the stories, pictures of the expeditions and the watches.
Took me a while but it was a real pleasure.
I am very impressed by your job and your collection.
If I may, how did you end up having this job?
Cheers!

The ever evolving collection; wear a Topgun IWC most of the time now. That and the 5 digit explorer 2 black dial.

Expeditions are confined to the UK as I still look after my wifes yard. Yet this has taken its toll on my mental health. Crisis team came out to me to see how i was; but im still here. And just finished a three book novel. Looking for a publisher now!

Stay safe everyone in this mad world. And remember, our watches only mark the passage of our time through life. They are not life itself. That is for us to write.

Good to see you posting Steve. Your book is one of the most meaningful books I have ever read, and has helped me through some difficult times. I have read it twice. Thank you for writing it. Stay well, one foot in front of the other.

I've read through this thread over the last several days and finally made it to the end. Simply fascinating - thank you for sharing your story and photos with us Steve. I would really like to read your book, however I just tried to purchase it on Amazon and it's saying that it can't be shipped to the U.S. Is there any way I can buy this and have it shipped to my address in the states? I don't have a kindle or do e-books - I like having a physical copy. Thanks for your help!

Oh I see, I'm not a prime member but I will see if I can find someone I know who is and will order it through them. Thanks for the heads up!

My all time favorite thread... Thank you, Steve.

Good to hear, big congrats.

Holy cow, just stumbled across this thread and was brought to tears. As a first post I wanted to thank you kind Sir for sharing such a remarkable life journey. I've yet to acquire my first Rolex but am hot on the trail. I leave this comment feeling inspired and ready to "explore" life with a newfound enthusiasm. Now, someone send me a link to this gentleman's book! :)
