My New Bark President!

My New Bark President!

I've been spending months and months and months scouring the web for the right day date at the right price. Birth year? Single quickset? Double quickset? Bark? Acceptable bracelet stretch? I can't tell you how many hours I spent obsessing over these details. I found lots of great watches... except I was either too late or one small detail wasn't exactly what I was looking for.

Anyway, I stumbled upon this beauty from watch chest, and I knew it was the one. Bark, double quick, bracelet with almost no stretch... It was perfect!

Anyway, I plan on taking it to an AD this weekend to check everything out, but it looks pretty great to me. It's beautifully minty!

If I never get another watch, I'll still be an extremely contented man.

Congrats I love the bark presidents. I think they should have still been in production.

I've always been indifferent to the bark version. It looks stunning, though, in your photos and appears like it's flawless.

Never understood the draw of bark until your photos. That shine from the bracelet and bezel!
