That is extremely slick. I really like affordable watches. I get why grail watches exist, but affordable watches give you so many more opportunities to express yourself.
I just commented on your Casio post and recognized the tattoo. You have really good taste. Seiko is my favorite watch brand. That blue dial is an example of the reason.
Your choice is a classic one, much like my favorite watch which was passed down from my grandfather to my dad, and then to me. The timeless design of your watch, as with mine, makes it an ideal family heirloom. Each time I wear my dad's watch, I'm taken aback by the realization that it's over half a century old. I hope that one day, your son will feel the same awe.
In the meantime, I hope your time with the watch too. The wear and tear it will inevitably acquire will only add to its charm. My watch, while well-maintained and in great condition, was worn daily by my father. The marks of use from his everyday life over 50 years make it even more special to me. It is a reminder of him and everything he did for me. I once told my wife that I feel like a better dad to my kids when I wear it because it reminds me of what I'm working for.
That's pretty cool. I didn't know that was on the roadmap
Thanks for posting this link. I'm afraid my background isn't a perfect fit for this job, but at this point in my life it kind of feels like it might be my dream job so I'm throwing my hat in the ring.
Excellent watch choice for a trip. I don't think its a good idea to travel with expensive watches anymore... maybe it never was.
