There are many ways to be happy. Here’s a new one for me: My wife and kind relatives banded together to get me the TimeZone watch school level 1 and associated parts & tools. (ETA 2401, plus case, and of course the watch tools.)

I felt like a kid again, newly able to Take Stuff Apart and Rebuild It. Wonderful! So far I’ve done the most-basic bit, removing and replacing 5 1.2mm screws from the two bridges. I’ve also peered into my broken Molnija and a defunct Certina. This, my friends, promises to be massively fun.

I might actually have to lay off the coffee for this. How’s that for an evil choice?
