I tip my hat to you gentlemen. The friendships here seem awesome.
Yes, we have true friendships here. Can't wait for the pandemic to end so we can do some meet ups. That reminds me, we haven't done a virtual meet up in a few months.

We've been discussing another one soon.
Maybe sometime after we get through the video chat with Revere

I don’t know the backstory here but would love to contribute post-gesture. Please PM me if there is a way I can be a part of this.
Yep, same here. Haven't been able to spend much time on here so totally out of touch, just let me know how/where to send the looove! :) We all need it for all sort of reasons.

About a month ago, [mention]ManOnTime[/mention] mentioned in LWDS that he hoped [mention]peskydonut[/mention] was okay because we hadn't heard from him in awhile. I chimed in saying I was thinking the same. Alex then let us know he had some personal stuff going on, and one thing led to another.

We really do have a great community here. It's nice knowing that people from all over the world with different backgrounds have each other backs.

I'm happy to see Alex posting more. I think we need to get that long form WRUW started up again.

I think this watch would look bad ass on bracelet. Anyone know where to procure a stock bracelet or a suitable alternative at a reasonable price?

Amen! This place is truly excellent. A community of friends masquerading as a deals forum (not to take anything away from the HUISABH thread).

With the divorce I picked up a whole lot of new responsibilities and haven't had a ton of spare time, but I'd love to start doing some more outings and revive the longform WRUW thread.

Ended up getting the flat links Berwick. I strongly prefer a "dressed down" look and tend to shy away from anything with high polish. The angular brushed links seemed in line with that esthetic. It doesn't exactly hit the vintage/racing look, but hoping it'll work out anyway. 🤞

I'll report back when the bracelet arrives, which will hopefully be this week.

I bought it from Geckota rather than Watch Gecko because the former had a 10% off code (GECKOTA10). The $14 shipping hurts, but the 10% off code soothes the pain a bit...$73.40 all in.

Bracelet arrived today. 2.5 days from the UK to US!

I barely had enough time to size it and take some quick photos...

They go together like peas and carrots. It really changes the look and I like it!
