So many beauties on the board, I wouldn't know where to begin. Freedom with that much choice can be painful with only two wrists to go round.
This is a timely theme, Nilo. I've just . . .
. . . helped a dear life-long friend regain his personal freedom from conservatorship, and he's now enjoying his first full day back at his home. Without going into details, I will make two comments based on his experience: first, you should always have a prepared will and a friend who has power of attorney in the event you ever lose, even briefly, the ability to make decisions, and second, you must be able to absolutely trust the judgement of the friend or relative to whom you've entrusted that power. As it happens, my friend failed on all counts, and was consequently ill-served. The cost to his bank account was substantial; the loss of freedom, incalculable.
I've been wearing Black Connie all week . . .
. . . including the moment he turned the key of his front door for the first time in almost ten months.
We don't truly realize how precious freedom is until it's lost.

Black Connie is kinda like Lee Remick . . .
. . . in Anatomy of a Murder - naturally coy, but . . .
. . . demure when it suits her.

You forgot to wrap up ...
Lee and the Connie are just Sexy.
Well, Lee was.

Love the summarization
of your post dear Art
To many things we take for granted....
unfortunately so and sometimes with very sad outcomes

P.S. Connie in natural environment 
Connie was on my wrist last night . . .
. . . at the 8-ball tournament, Damjan. Picked up the first game easily, lost the second on a last-shot blunder, won the third with a three-rail bank shot into a side pocket on my last ball before sinking the 8, and then lost the fourth. A little rusty due to not having played at all since Sunday, as I'd been helping my friend with his affairs the first three days of the week.
Next time, as they say . . .

Serious but important thoughts.. This black Connie must always be a feast for the eye !
Black Connie is by far and away the most difficult . . .
. . . subject to photograph in my collection. It's almost impossible for me to come up with a great image; Andrew, amazingly enough, took terrific snaps with ease using his Leica.
Here's a static photo from earlier this year . . .
. . . taken close to sundown; there are reflections galore, but at least the dial print is more discernible than usual.
Thanks for you kind comments!

Sounds like there is light at the end of the tunnel
Sensible advice, Art, and a great watch to accompany you through life's ups and downs, twists and turns.
Andrew
My friend's a gutsy guy who's bounced back . . .
. . . from a diabetic coma earlier this year. I just came back home after spending the afternoon with him shopping for a new refrigerator and cell phone; he's home, but not really quite at home yet.
You might recall my posting images forwarded from the Public Guardian's office of two of his watches back in May or June. Both were fake Rolexes, but I didn't notice until a day afterwards. His genuine articles, a Day-Date and Calatrava, were safely tucked away, and he will be retrieving them shortly. I hope to share his small collection with us the next time we have a 'friends and family' theme.
Best,
Art
This is one of the Patek watches that ...
I consider "plus-que-parfait".
Congratulation for the watches and the shirt.
