I haven't been as active on the Forum this year but I am still around and loving my watches.
Felt 2022 was a bit of a disappointment in terms of new releases, which was good as I don't have the expendable income any more thanks to Mr Covid 19 and a split with Mrs Holic. It turn out she wasn't as hollicky as I was.
That said, I wear each of my 32 Heuers (34 if you count Mrs Holics 2 which disappeared funnily enough around the same time as she did) anyway, I digress, as I was saying, I wear them all as my mood changes and every time I open my various watch boxes I get that thrill to see them all again.
This Xmas, I invite you to go to a forest near you, sit down, close your eyes and listen to the sounds of Nature..... It can be a great experience if you let it. Then open your eyes, look at your wrist and your favourite watch and count your blessings.
And for those having a tough time, hang in there... things will take a turn for the better at some time.....Clouds and silver linings etc.
As Steve Jobs used to say "It will all work itself out"

Merry Christmas to you all and Happy Birthday to me for the same day.

Jeez, not another one. My divorce was finalized in April. For those getting worried, I don't think my love of watches had anything to do with it 😀

Happy birthday @heuerholic

Amen my friend.

Sorry about the divorce, it might not be worth much right now but for most of us divorce leads to a much better and happier life. Just gotta get through the shitty times during and after it happens.

Hope Christmas and birthday will be wonderful, despite the circumstances.

Appreciate the kind words folks but don’t get me wrong, life has never been more peaceful for me and my wonderful Daughter.
And at the risk of turning this into a confession session, my wife (Ex) and I have never got on better!!

just goes to show we all need some freedom to think sometimes.
Here is my wonderful Daughter making her Dad happy a few years ago with some Sand art.
I’m a lucky man

Happy birthday @heuerholic
Your daughter is the ongoing blessing that your union, though temporary, was meant to bring her to the world. All the best for 2023.

Merry Christmas and Happy holidays to all of you my friends!

This forum serves as an oasis / escape for the troubles of the day and brings me much joy with every minute spent on it.

Thank you all for sharing your passion and a bit of your lives with us.

May this new year bring us closer together, and the cheer of this holiday season endure. Wishing your lives be filled with wellbeing, health, and many blessings.

Your friend,

Merry Christmas Albert! Lovely photos
Thanks Jim! 👍
It’s a special -and sparkling- Modular combo just for today, the only day of the year that I combine these straps with the rose gold lugs 😉
