For some crazy reason, that shot of your son wearing it triggered a Tim Mosso voice over in my head...

“The CHNR is broad but can fit snugly and purposefully on the wrist. I would easily recommend this watch for wrists as small as 10 centimeters in circumference.”

That's nice, wear it in the best of health.
Was it an option to mail it home and skip the sales tax?

Good job OP, that TT YM looked mighty tempting too. That being said, I would have taken the gmt as well.

Well done on the watch! Nothing wrong with flying to get it, it’s still one of the safer ways to travel even in a pandemic.

I've flown to get a watch before, not during a global pandemic but that might be the only reason I wouldn't...

Congrats! It’s a wonderful watch that must be worn to be truly appreciated. Bad news though, now that you’ve got it and fallen in love you need to start preparing yourself mentally for passing it to your son when he graduates college.
