I was a reliable drinking buddy for everyone. As long as it was after 5pm then it was always wine o’clock for me, or half past beer or, in fact, ten to shot. I’d be counting down those minutes most nights until the first pop, fizz or satisfying sound of bubbles hissing in my glass would echo out across my living room. I never drank during the day, of course, that was for real alcoholics, just nearly every night for the past 25 years. I could sniff out a party like a pig searching for truffles, I loved to drink and be merry, who didn’t? I was consistently on a big dipper, drunk or hung over, never stopping or slowing down which meant I never had the opportunity to see myself or know myself without alcohol inside me. Who was I without it?
It was time to wipe off the disco dirt, take off my happy go lucky pissed up persona and to dig deep into my reasons for being so reliant on booze to have fun and maybe, just maybe, try something new?
I’ve been getting away with it for as long as I can remember. are we all just about getting away with it? I mean are we nearly all dying to stop? I was starting to wonder if there is an underlying epidemic of people desperate for help but not able to admit it.
Can we get away with it? or can we stop? if so how? it needed investigation...
I have tried to keep my identity a secret on this page - I dont know why because I am so proud of what I have achieved so far. I still have a deep ingrained fear of people thinking I'm a party pooper. Peoples opinions of me matter. I would love to know some techniques on how to embrace this journey rather than fear reactions.

When I spoke to Prop Master Ritchie Kremer of Interstellar fame, I asked him about his personal affinity for link watches. In his link case, he did not even wear a watch. With Reiss, however, her professional endeavors have definitely sparked an intellectual interest in watches. You need only see how many watches she has amassed link over the years to understand that.

Lug width is 21mm, which is awkward, but Aquastar will offer a full range of mounts link and I was able to squeeze a 22mm NATO between the lugs without too link much issue. Would I prefer 20mm? Yes, but if the rest of the package has your attention, I wouldn't see the lug width as a link deal-breaker, especially given how well the included Tropic suits the Deepstar 39mm.
Both these movements are both extremely flat and reasonably reliable, and moreover can be serviced with link more-or-less standard watchmaking tools and link skills. It's a link testament to how much Bulgari has pushed things with the Octo Finissimo Ultra that it is actually thinner (albeit by .05mm, but facts are facts) than just the cal. 849, without a case.
