Hello from Chicago and Miami

Hi everyone. New member here. I live in Chicago but am on a long term assignment down in Miami. I'm a CPA handling complex US and foreign tax matters for some of our Miami clients. I recently sold my two tone Date Just, the 36mm size just didn't look right on my 7.5" wrist. Otherwise it was a beauty and served me well, but it just spent too much time in my jewelry box.

Looking to put the funds against a ND Submariner, so I did what a lot of you purists might find unconscionable: I purchased an Invicta 9327OB and wore it for a few days before deciding the ND Sub is definitely what I'm looking for. I really didn't want to drop 6k on something I'm not completely sure of.

Anyway, just checking in. Will post in the General Forum when I get the watch.

BTW, some of your photos posted here are just incredible. Keep up the good work.

Hello Sig...
Welcome :)

Interesting about your TT DJ not seeming right to you.
When I first got mine back n the 80s', it seemed "perfect" for my 6.75" limb.
Now, it seems smallish after wearing some of my other herd.
But, still the mat worn of my small herd.

Do you have any pics of it you can post?

Again, welcome...
