Thanks, missed it on the first post.

Cost?

Boutique reached out yesterday letting me know that this was available. Only mentioned in passing I wanted a 15510. Completely blown away to be able to bring such a piece of history home and a green dial no less. After this mail call I must say I am pretty happy. It’s so freaking nice

Added another want to the collection today. I’ve been going back and forth pretty hard on a white dial, was between explorer 2 and omega smp. Explorer 2 won out in the end…. Early birthday present, fit the bill for a white dial hole in the collection. I totally love it, comes across very tool watch less Rolex flashy!

@Anesthetist
I can totally understand that! I was originally supposed to grab a ghost Daytona on oysterflex in a few weeks but went in and was like no way they would have anything but it can’t hurt to look

Needless to say the ghost budget is gone

On a last min trip I managed to make it to an AP boutique. After a wonderful visit I walked out with an Offshore chronograph. I got the gray dial titanium 42mm and it’s the one that I’ve been wanting the most. I did a ton of research and was between this and the khaki (green) dial. It was a total surprise that they had it available and didn’t play any games at all. The fit and finish is amazing the only issue is that I’m sorta in between sizes on the bracelet, So I will wear on rubber for a while till I decide if I can do a 1.5 link to be perfect.

Last watch for a while I promise

@Anesthetist Amazing Chrono! I was just looking on the website, it has an open case back right? I really like that too. IWC makes some really sweet stuff. Congrats to you too! Did you just get it also?

@Giles I’d love to see some pictures of it Thanks

IH hoodie pic… It will be a while before this comes off my wrist!

Decided yesterday to pull the trigger on a long time want. Probably close to 20 years in the making. Picked it up today. Absolutely love it. IWC big pilot

@Giles do you still have that platinum one you were holding on to for a friend or something? I can’t remember the details totally

I wear 10.5 d or e in Wesco’s my RM are 10E and roomy so I would say size down. I love mine so much. I’m hoping to get in the next preorder for the stichdown makeup. I saw them in nyc at boot camp last fall

The last month or so I’ve gotten back into the flashlight game.
About a month ago I grabbed a Okluma dc0 and dc1 in TI, they are getting finished up now for delivery in the next month or so for both hopefully.
In the meantime I grabbed a few different TI CWF lights a peanut, micro clic and mini click. After that I got a both bronze and copper DC0. I really like the 14500 size light.

Here’s the group photo. I really like the Okluma’s and can’t wait for my pre orders

Near an AD on a get away for the weekend. I had previously thought maybe the Daytona would be a good fit for me, but after trying on I really didn’t dig it at all as it felt small. This one was PM oysterflex. Which was very comfortable though. I really liked the panda dial

They did have a sky dweller that I enjoyed on oysterflex but it too was PM and they didn’t have any steel versions.

Yeah, I agree that’s a good fit. The shoulder thing I didn’t even notice for a while but now I do….. That being said it’s mostly on my black big buck, the green doesn’t have it as bad and the pale rider even less.

That leather is awesome and won’t be back

Both big bucks and the original leather on the pale rider.

@Beecherarts
I have all 3 westerns and they all 3 have it to some degree. So far they have mild wear and has not settled down. At first I thought it was from hangers but I’m not totally sure I agree with that after looking at it more

Decided this year to upgrade both my luggage and bag for work travel. Decided on the AER travel pak 3 and a Rimowa cabin plus. I had actually wanted both for many years and finally decided it was time. I was able to check both out in boutiques in NY before I pulled the trigger. Both pair very good and are so far great travel companions

The funny thing about the Aer was I brought a few pairs of non denim to get hemmed at SE only to find out they don’t do non denim. As I was walking back to meet up with my family already sick of carrying the pants I stopped for the light to change looked up and saw the aer boutique totally an accident find. But perfect timing walked in and checked them out. Much better than the paper bag I was previously carrying them around in

Damn I was originally thinking blue but that picture makes this look a lot better color

Is this the same weight roughly as the black cord western from a few year ago?

Thanks guys! Still pinching my self I scored it

Beyond excited Had a surprising call last night from the Rolex ad I visited a few weeks ago. They had revived my Sea dweller 43 and it was ready if I was! So I made the trip today to pick it up. Such a great experience that I will always remember. Its very different than my speedy and I feel they are the best of both worlds. Really happy and shocked with how fast it took to come in. Originally she had mentioned it would be mid next year. So less than 3 weeks is pretty sweet. I may or may not have shown interest in gmt too

No worries, figured I’d ask
