Manifattura Ceccarelli, IHSH-33-blk, IH 1955-SLB , Pika the Golden

Just heard back from MB&F that I was picked for their M.A.D.2 raffle (I have entered the raffle each time). So this should be coming to me in the next few weeks or months. Not too excited to pay 31% tariff on it. Maybe I'll get lucky. Fourth green dial watch...
M.A.D. is the (much!) lower priced small series production from MB&F. It uses a La Joux-Perret G101 movement with a custom jumping hour module.

New Indigofera Copeland, in an awesome beige stripe on indigo fabric.

IH flannel & H. Moser….

I just took delivery of my 2nd Good Wear jacket. I'm lucky enough to live 30mn away...

NWA, the only MB&F I’ll ever be able to afford. Very cool, and fun piece.

Amazing fabric.

Pourring Penicillin cocktails in IH black denim shirt yesterday…

Speaking of new / re-edition models, I like that better:

I agree the MM300 is prettier, but the bezel’s impossible to operate with wet fingers. I have the fully auto GS diver. It’s a great watch (but it’s thicc!)

Probably the best dive watch ever (apart from the 124060).

I'm a big fan of the Sun Surf and Star of Hollywood Hawaiian shirts. The rayon ones can be more elegant, and they feel great, but they need dry cleaning. The various cotton &/or linen shirts are nearly as nice and a lot easier to take care of. In particular, the 'Atomc' line of Star of Hollywood shirts absolutely nails the 50's vibe (as far as I know...) I also like very colorful madras short sleeve shirts.

Second time making fries. It was a success…

What you write is true of most complications, tbh. When do you need a watch to tell you the date (or, god forbid, the date, day, and month...)? Or time something to the 1/10th of a second, etc, etc.

With this said, I have been zonked enough that I had to pull my phone out to check the time at home.

@Boit - Lovely work! I'm in Seattle too, between Volunteer Park & Interlaken on Cap Hill.

I love that IWC UTC! Proper traveller's GMT!

Beautiful watch. I love the sword hands on this version.

WRT the Red Sea, I think the way to get the most out of it is to do a live aboard and go to the pinnacle islands way off shore (Brothers, Daedalus, etc). You get both small reef life and large pelagic, and no crowds. I loved it.
