I'm the kind of guy who normally wears one watch for several years at a time and doesn't really rotate watches based on my mood or the day of the week.
With this watch I wasn't only buying a wristwatch, I was conscientiously buying a family antique that will be passed down to the next generations, conscientiously buying an extension of myself that I will wear for the rest of my life, conscientiously buying an item to celebrate important life events which invariably add meaning to the watch, conscientiously buying it to celebrate achieving personal goals I set for myself, conscientiously buying a watch in order to make practical use of the very functions that it employs. When I wear this watch it tells a story of a lifelong love of watches, aviation, adventure and accomplishment.

This watch is priceless to me, and I'll never get rid of it! There is nothing more valuable than time. Time with loved ones, time to one's self. Time dedicated to those less fortunate and in need. It's all we have, and and I'm reminded of it every time I look at my watch.

Ok enough of the sentimental stuff... Now for the fun pics!!!
Here she is in her natural habitat!!!

I'm curious if you gave any thought to the new Sky Dwellers when you made the purchase? Depending on vision it may be impractical. Again, congratulations!!!!

Boaters · 11 December 2017, 02:46 AM

Great for those time zones

NRD · 11 December 2017, 03:00 AM

Congratulations!! For some reason when i put this one on it gives me the feeling of being the perfect watch imho.
