Awesome man! They really have this charm to them that can't quite be explained don't they? And for the price? Worth every penny. Glad to see you got your own Tankist.

Be careful though, as Vostoks tend to multiply unexpectedly. Don't get them wet, or feed them after midnight. Wait, maybe that's gremlins. Nah, I am pretty sure it's Vostoks.

I know :roll: . I was this close to ordering the yellow dial with yellow bezel today, like [mention]Rabirnie[/mention] and at least one other person has. I wasn’t paying much attention when I ordered this because it ended up being an automatic and I wanted a manual wind (which I still do not have in my collection). Maybe I assumed at $51 or $55 US dollars that this would be manual.

Where is the Legion today? I know I have been slacking but let’s not go a day without a watch shot. I’m having a drink for y’all because I wore the tankist today...so here is to compliance!Image
I'll show you where I was. Not a fun day for me. I mean, I'm fine, just not very enthusiastic. I will join you with that beverage though bud. I need it right now [emoji26]Image

Oh man, that stinks. Glad you are OK. That is by far the most important thing. I still owe you beer.

Hopefully. I was not at fault. I was stopped at a stop sign and the guy dozed off and came right into me. I hope his USAA can hook it up. Lord knows they have the money judging by their advertising budget!

Awe, man. That sucks! Thank goodness you're okay, that's all that matters. Hopefully your car can be fixed like new.

Been crazy busy in the office this week. Several emergencies... figures for a short week. Thankfully it's Friday tomorrow and the wife and I are getting away for a night without the kiddos. Two crown compliance check in.

Oof!

I'm pleased to read you're ok. Do yourself a favor and go get checked over at urgent care or a clinic anyway. You took a hard lick, and you may not feel it now, but there's a good chance you will tomorrow, or the next few days. I'm speaking from experience.

Unfortunately, I fear your car may be totaled. It looks like the radiator support is mangled. Most insurance companies will right it off when that happens.

:cry: :cry: :cry: That sucks. Glad you are ok, but tough to see your ride totaled. The smell of airbag dust never comes out, so may be good if the insurance does total it and pay out. Good luck, and hope the loaner is a supercar.

Honestly, I am glad it's a write off. After a hit like that, it would never be the same. Now if I can get insurance to take care of me properly, I will be okay. But It's their job to give me as little as possible. I am taping my gloves up and maybe taking some PEDs. Allegedly. . .

Thanks bud, and speaking of loaners, I borrowed a car from a buddy temporarily. It is a MT RWD hatchback. Any guesses? That's a rare combo. . .

I’m digging the Tankist! Good news with Vostok’s is that they are so affordable that you can start multiplying them and still stay under a reasonable amount. You should definitely add the yellow Dirskie. She’s a beauty.

So glad to hear you are ok man! That’s some seriously scary stuff. Hope the alleged PEDs will help you in your recovery and your friend’s loaner car.

Don’t get me started on insurance companies... Working in the business side of healthcare is a JOY and won’t jade you at all...

I concur with [mention]Rabirnie[/mention] in adding the yellow Dirskie. I admired his for awhile and then picked up one myself. It's one of the watches I get the most compliments on. I even gave a yellow Dirskie to my brother-in-law this Christmas for his first mechanical watch.
