Heh. Thanks, for sure it's going to be a tough one to keep off the wrist. Nothing has this wrist presence yet @ the same time invisible when not keenly trying to notice. I held out all this time with diversions but it was finally time!

Thanks, Tom. I held off for a few years, but finally gave in. I still wish the Daytona had a date!

Awesome, congrats! It has gotten way more wear time than I expected.

Mine is traveling for a few days with me in SFO. Much warmer than -4F here!

Inspired by Dr. Tom's wonderful interview lately.
