I just couldn't stay away - Incoming

I'll tell you what - all the back and forth. All the "shortages" and being offered desired models. On my third attempt, I humbly come back to the one that started it all.

I feel with the submariner - folks who truly appreciate it go through phases. When I got my first 1680 I thought I was in heaven, it was a vintage miracle.

Then I wanted something even cleaner, simpler, so I went with a 14060M and wore it on a NATO. As I grew I decided I wanted to be a big boy and snagged a 114060 when offered by the AD earlier this year. That glide lock is everything lol

Wore it and loved it but jumped at a BLNR when offered a month later.
Flipped it because to me, it was "too flashy" - to each his own. No Regrets on that one.

The process comes back full circle and sometimes it takes losing something or giving it up to learn to appreciate it.

Welcome back...


Heres hoping any urges to move on will be quickly abated.
Happy Friday folks!

A date function just junks up the dial to me. If you like the date there's a sub for you. I dislike the magnification blob so much I removed it from my exp II.
