I did indeed! Great customer service - They actually had someone physically bring the watch from Bogota for me and had it in two days. Such a beautiful city - we loved it.

I've always been into vintage watches and the stories behind them - who did the watch belong to? Where did they buy it, and why? Was it to celebrate something, or to use as a tool? For this reason I've really been attracted to vintage watches with lots of history.

Well, last week I was in Colombia on my honeymoon and my wife bought me a wedding gift down there that I'm just crazy about. I'm not usually a modern watch fan but when we went to look, this watch just "fit." The more I wear it the more I realize how perfect it is for me. Size is spot on - it has everything I need and nothing I don't. Plus, green is my favorite color... I love the playful orange pips and how it doesn't take itself too seriously. It reminds me of Michaelangelo, who everybody knows was the best ninja turtle by far. Plus, it's functional - my vintage pieces are great but it's nice to have something with working lume that I know is just built like a tank.

One day I can hopefully tell my son or daughter the story of how we bought it in South America on honeymoon, right before I gift it to them. Maybe I'll do it at their wedding or college graduation. I know it's a little corny, but it feels like I'm creating my own story with it, just like the vintage watches I've been so obsessed with over the past few years. I can't wait to have it with me through a lifetime of adventures with her.

what size wrist do you have?

I measured ages ago and i don’t really remember exactly, but I know it’s somewhere around 6 or 6.5 inches. Definitely no more than that. I’m also 5’10. Not a small dude but not big either.
