Thank you all so much for the kind words and warm welcome back!! A second watch will OF COURSE be required for the twins, it’s the ultimate next watch excuse will be a good while yet but they are only small now

I really do love this watch! Something I used to use a lot on my Hulk was timing items, throughout the day with the bezel. Well a friend pointed out you can still of course do that on GMT just turn the triangle to the minute marker and use the indices as 5 min intervals. Well I wouldn’t rely on it with my breath underwater but works nicely for timing a babies ready meal in the oven

Enjoy in good health! I recently turned 30 and got myself a brand new BLNR for my bday. I really like the LN also just as much as the all black with the green really does it for me.

Welcome back, you've got a great one there - I'm timing my laundry with my LN as I type this.

Huge congrats.
Welcome back.
Thanks for sharing, always puts a smile to my face when people have their priorities in order. So nice to take a breather from the "no supply", "what would you buy", "AD laughed at me" threads.
Wear it in good health!

Thank you kind Sir! You know what it’s true and it’s sad how hard it is for everyone to just see/buy the watches they want. Crazy market! I’m really happy with my choice. Once I realised it was possible there was no way I was gonna wait months or more

The most underrated in the line up in my opinion, it can be worn on any occasion.

Every day that you wear it will be a slightly better day.
You know what every day so far has been my friend
