As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

This was a big week for me, watch-tastically-speaking. After 3 years of admiring and, at times, obsessing over the original Black Bay 58 I've finally added one to my collection.
I am thrilled. I love it.
I had a moment of clarity about a month ago and knew it was time for me to make this move. I realized that all I really had to do was sell a few pieces that I wasn't really bonding with to put in within reach.
This was absolutely the right decision.
Side note: Although admittedly esoteric, I feel the need to share that I have named him Jack Lambert, because he's number 58 and wears black and gold. IYKYK.
Congrats!

I now realize I've never named any of my watches.
I've named all my cars, but not my watches.

Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

Thanks!! I had been watching closely using Watch Recon for one that hit that sweet spot of condition, age and price. Luckily it only took a week or two for the right one to come up on Reddit.

Told myself over a year ago I was mostly done with this hobby, and i'd guess it's been about that long since I've visited MoT. This watch ticks more boxes for me than I can name. Very happy.

There's a lot more to this community than just buying/selling watches. Come by more often.

Understood. My willpower is typically weak enough that I don't always benefit from folks who may be enablers to my many hobbies I've had to put on "pause." That's a "me" issue I'm managing.
