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.

Today was one of those unexpected two-watch-purchase days…

First, I was able to negotiate a good deal for an SPB143 which I’ve been eyeing for a while now (internet pic):

Second, I wound up being the lone bidder on this Timber Cruiser, a watch that first hit my radar when [mention]peskydonut[/mention] posted a photo of one several months back (thanks bud!):

Strong P01 vibes, and I don't think that's a bad thing.

For sure. Definitely not a bad thing.

And it turns out that the Uncle Seiko flat link bracelet fits it perfectly, which I might get as a switch up if it turns out to be a keeper.

Won a tight auction on this cool Casio. It checks a few boxes for me. Photo from the listing.

Update to add that one box it checks is my desire for the black and gold srp775 -- dig that look, but don't want another diver:
