Yes, I'm home and many miles away from that pain in the a$$ hurricane. Praying for my southern friends and hoping the impact is not as bad as feared.

Nice R E D leather bracelet Chris!

The watch reminds me of the JLC Compressor World Time Chrono.

Almost picked up a vintage Hammy khaki over the weekend in Hong Kong, still wondering why I didn't.

that is part of the reason i got it. IT also looks a bit like the Geographic and dual time. i really want a JLC but they are a bit expensive for me at the moment.
i was thinking about trading in one of my rolexes against a JLC but i saw this and just got it.

Thats a nice looking watch Chris.
And the red strap fits nicely with the watch itself
When sat next to the GMT it looks quite a bit larger as well.
