Made the Ottolenghi's coconut dream cake again, this time as a 2-layer round cake. Just as good as a sheet cake, but looks better.

New warch arrival… This is an Omega De Ville 4533.31. I’ve been looking for a “true”, or traveller’s, dual time watch, and that one was one of my top choices.

Went to a Rolex store in Mexico 2 weeks ago. Was able to try on the Explorer II which I have been lusting over. It's thicker than its measurement would suggest. The sales person told me that it can be had within 1 year in Mexico. Seems faster than in the US.

RE: TV
If anyone is interested in space, the Apple TV show "For All Mankind" is excellent. It's basically high quality TV drama taking place in the universe of NASA (initially) but in an alternate history where the Russians arrived first on the moon. What is cool is that the writers (who clearly love NASA and the early space exploration history) use this event as a device causing NASA to become a lot more aggressive and risk taking. So this results in more space exploration but also more daring choices in terms of crews, including incorporating female astronauts a lot earlier than in real life. There are key male characters, but also some bad ass female lead roles including a NASA engineer, an astronaut, and an astronaut wife-turned-entrepreneur. I'm loving it.

The Seamaster 300 "summer blue" is a very attractive piece I find. I'm not in the market for a dive watch at this time, but if I were this would be a strong contestant.

RE: Watches - another OCD problem
GMT / dual time is an interesting complication because it exists in 2 completely different variations. There's the "caller" GMT, with a quick adjustment of the secondary time zone, and the "traveller" GMT with a quick adjustment of the main hour hand. The "traveller" style allows one to travel to their destination, quickly adjust the local time, with the secondary time zone keeping track of the home time. For some reason, it's a lot harder to implement. The vast majority of the cheap or mid range GMT watches are of the "caller" type. The vast majority of the "traveller" GMT are thick (Seiko & GS, Ball), expensive (at least 3 variations of Rolex), very clunky (e.g., secondary 12hr time scale with a day/night indicator, etc), or a combination of all this. I've been researching this for a while because I'd like a nice traveller's GMT. I actually have a little spreadsheet where I keep track of the various models because most are not made anymore (like that JLC), and my memory is crap.

That GS chromo is their best so far as far as I'm concerned, but it's still way too big, and also kinda boring.
The playtona is cool, I have to say. I wonder how much it weighs.
That IWC Ingenious is going to get a lot of attention. I think it's OK.
