Wasn't here for the good ole days, but I like the vibe.

I’ve wanted a Sea Dweller since I was a kid when I saw it advertised in National Geographic. 40 years later Sea Dweller and I celebrated our 50th together.

Fair enough lee I was just busting balls!

Watch out your platona has creeped into the hype category long after you bought it.

That’s the kind of story I love to hear about

What happened to the days when you would purchase a piece because it “sang” to you?

If it’s ok with you all, let’s go back to basics for a minute and see some good old standard wrist shots.

No speak of availability, movement, case size, lug size, price, etc. just a pic of your favorite piece.

Not the best photo on a So Cal gloomy day but here's my favorite piece as is. Happy Tuesday!
