Old guy banter is old guys in rockers on front porches talking between cat naps (power naps are for the young guys) about how things used to be. What we have here is a bunch of old guys talking about the current and next watch; with an eye always focused on the future. Our Rolex watches keep us young in heart and mind and fight our tendency toward focusing on the past and the good old days. Rolex watches can even make a hairy old arm look halfway good! They are an elixir for the soul!

That's my latest delusional old guy goofy excuse to spend more than I should on watches! As long as I think about that Explorer I "need," I am OK!

Wait a minute. Someone told me the 50's are the new 40's these days. Is that true?

Time to go jogging!

Living in London probably adds about 10 years, another 3 years and I'll move somewhere hot and sunny and live the good life
