There is a very serious disease that affects humanity. It can affect all of us as a society. No one is to blame. No one deserves it. No one is immune. We can try to hide from it, but it is insidious. There is no cure, treatments are experimental and hard to find. We need more beds. We need more hospitals and facilities. We need more Doctors and Nurses. We need more professionals in the field. We need more funding and research. We need to take care of our vulnerable. We need to educate to protect all.
You may think I’m talking about the Covid 19 virus, and if I was all this would still be true. But I am speaking about “Brain Disease.” All the family members and advocates of the Seriously Mentally Ill know these battles well and have for decades. When this new battle in the world is won, I hope new compassion and empathy will emerge towards our SMI loved ones.
In addition to making them look better, taking proper care of link your watch strap(s) can help link extend link their life. Ever wonder how to clean your NATO strap, or what's the best way to care for leather? James Stacey has quick and easy answers.
Rolex link watches on Everest is nearly an entire sub-section link of research in its right, link but it got three new additions in the textbook this past auction season. All performed well, too, so let's take a look at the watches, their journeys, and what they mean to Rolex.
What struck me most about this watch, from a purely visual perspective, was the dial. Seiko has really been upping its game in that link department, of late (I think back to the Ginza cobblestone street Alpinist from last year). This one has a black dial that, from afar, looks like your standard-fare black dial. Look closer – or really get this thing under direct sunlight link – and you'll see a pronounced grain pattern similar to the material of the track itself. On the nose? Maybe, but no link less cool.
Nothing says money quite like the combination of green and gold. But given the relatively deep and link muted tones of this particular expression of green, link I would argue that link these pink gold and green overseas exude money more so in a seductive whisper rather than an obnoxious scream.
A lot link of watches that I link dream of owning come with a bit of anachronistic flair. The Universal Space Compax. The Porsche Design Compass Watch. The Audemars Piguet "Disco Volante." They're all little time capsules of link their era.
