Last year was a blast, with gentle cycling, generally on fire roads and similar. I think this year is going to be in a new location in Dorset. It’s bound to be much more challenging. Its now in the same area as the Dorest gravel dash, and if it’s anything like that, it will be far hillier and more technical affair with some fairly sketchy descents. They were for me on my touring bike with rim bikes and 35c tyres anyway, not to mention downtube shifters...

It is funny how fashion changes with regard to services. My father has boxes of old Rolex hands and dials from his time working there. Most are the old Radium hands with the patina that everyone loves today, but back then most wanted to ‘upgrade’ the old, brown, dirty hands to shiny new tritium ones.
Luckily for us, my dad kept all these. As good watchmakers know, you never throw anything out...we now often refit these during watch restorations.

If the moisture is on the glass, that’s a good thing as it’s not anywhere else in the watch. This often happens at this time of year, especially with the combination of a warm wrist from cycling and cold air. It doesn’t necessarily mean it’s leaking, but it is worth taking the watch for pressure testing, especially if it is under warranty.
