–Shifter for the Mustang came in. Got everything apart and found that the holes in the new shaft didn’t match the holes on the existing shaft. Called and emailed the seller, but haven’t heard back yet.

–Kirill Yuzh wrote to say he would wire money for sale of the red Sub, but by the way he just got this untouched 1984 5513 in. It was indeed a beauty, so he put it in a FedEx box and will wire me the difference between the two watches. He also (at my request) sent a label so I could get him the 1680 and 1803 for consignment. Down to two Rolexes now: a 5512 overhauled by True Patina, original everything except bracelet, killer dial and insert, “previously polished” case; and the incoming 5513, original everything, untouched.

–Shirogorov/Martin Soft Russian Overkill came in. Nice knife, but it slams open with a sort of two-part sound. Seems the detent ball is really prominent. Not sure what to do about it. Trying to shave (or pound in) the ball would likely be disastrous. Dilemma.

–Took a swim.
