INCOMING! 50 at 50
I’ve been eyeing this one for a while and decided to end the year on a high note. I turned the big “50” this year so thought it was a fitting reference. I had it shipped to the beach to add to the excitement! Happy New Year to everyone!

this guy knows what's up. Shipping a luxury watch to the beach is a power move. Happy Birthday.

That’s a beauty Lee

I’ve heard the bracelet is next level, but I’ve never been able to try one on here in these parts.

Enjoy it and happy 50th

Thanks Brian! I have a 7.25-7.5” wrist, removed 1.5 links and it fits perfectly. The bracelet really balances the weight of the watch.

Thank you! I was worried until I had the bracelet sized. Pleasantly surprised with the fit.

The Fifty Fathoms on bracelet is awesome, fits you very well and it is not a small watch. Double Congratulations with the big 50!
