My study buddy

Hi friends! As I sit here yet another day studying for Step 1 of my med school boards, I find myself once again wearing this piece. My wife surprised me with it as a Valentine's Day present, and it is getting a TON of wrist time; she's actually a bit upset because I'm wearing it more than some of the more expensive things she's bought me

But I digress. The SKX007 had been on my list for a while, and I absolutely understand why it is viewed as such a standard in the Seiko and greater WIS community. It is so easy to read, the lume is fantastic, the bezel can be a little tough to turn but I love having gradations for the full 60 minutes, and it's really comfortable! I love this jangly little jubilee bracelet It also keeps great time; my turtle STO is about 30 seconds off a day (fast if I recall), but the SKX keeps to around -2/d.

Anyway, what's a thread without pictures?! Thanks for being a lovely community.

Really a perfect diver

So is the Rolex Sub, but with an extra digit in price.

Thank you for the page opened up to the penile and anal zones. "keep the penis off the floor." Nice, light lunchtime reading. I'm not going to ask why the penis is on the floor.

I have that watch with the penis, I mean Pepsi dial and rubber strap. Great, rugged, trusty weekend watch when I go fishing or knock around.

I work for an orthopedic surgeon who tells me of his studying back in the day. Easily going 12+ hours a day for months on end thinking it'll never end. Thirty years later he's doing just fine. Keep it up. It will end and you'll be rewarded. Good luck.

Ok, can you still recall and recite the 12 cranial nerves ?

Cheers

Congrats on the watch and good luck. Step 1 is brutal, I’m sure you are putting in 8+ hour days studying !

I'm glad to see this in the medical books as I've been struggling with this one lately.

How do I keep of off the floor? The wife is getting a little upset.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. It's been some long days, but I'm nearing the end of this part of school and will be rounding in my clerkships soon. In the meantime...I'll be here!

At this point I've lost all sense of what is appropriate or not just be glad I wasn't reading about GI issues!

I actually just acquired a Pepsi insert and bezel to switch out with this black one - having some trouble popping this bezel off, but all in good time.

Yes, but only very much against my will The Runwell is a quartz piece, and I must say I don't wear it as much as I should. It was a gift from my parents several years ago, and reignited my love for watches.

While I don't know how to treat that yet, I am triggered to yell "S2, 3, 4 KEEPS THE PENIS OFF THE FLOOR" in this kind of situation. Please let me know if this is of assistance

Nice! Good luck, study hard and celebrate when it’s over. Step 2 ain’t nearly as bad.
