New here and trying to feel my way around, I read the opening post for this thread...Am I compliant?

Nailed it! Fantastic watch and adorable pup. Glad to have you here. It's not all about compliance either, just ask @Stretch44, I'd be "stretching" it to say he was compliant more than "44"% of the time [emoji28]. Anyways,

Mod Monday compliant with one I haven't worn in quite some time. I think this was the first invicta case that I debranded. I am thinking of swapping in a single dome crystal since it allegedly makes the soup bowl of a rehaut more like a cat dish visually.

@Dub Rubb is right. I'm never compliant or I just make up my own compliance like @Split-time. However, I am technically compliant today!
Strap change for both the Geneve and Tudor. Not true mods, but it gets me compliance.

Maybe not the most useful tool - the hand for the register at 9 is flopping around and neither of the other two chrono hands reset properly - but tool watch compliance nonetheless.

Tool Watch Tuesday compliant with the Nereus. Really liking how well this Watch Gecko BoR fits.

Tool watch Tuesday. The dial is so cool on this, I wish I knew what it was made out of. It's almost graphite like.

I think I've said it before, but this might be my favorite watch in your collection. It's not my style, but how well it has held up after what it's been through is just amazing. Obviously nothing against the rest of your collection, maybe you just got me with its history. So good.

Thanks, obviously no offense taken. If I had to pick one watch to keep out of my collection it would be this because the history. It will stay in the family forever.

It's a tank too. Even though it's 80 years old, I have no hesitations wearing it. It ran well before I had it fully serviced and it winds better than most of my modern watches.

Discord HUISABH compliance, plus double cat action. I really want to refill my coffee, but can't disturb this.

Glad you are here 8-) ! We don’t take the “rules” seriously at all. They do, however, help keep me out of a rut and remind me to wear some watches that I may normally overlook.

Anything is compliant as long as Brady is involved...and I’d go as far to say that it doesn’t eve have to be a watch :lol:.

I have been out of town for four days for work. The family went along, which was really nice. We managed to squeeze quite a bit of educational experiences in for our son, too :)

Looks like you went to DC? I've never been and really want to go. I'd love to see all the memorials and the Smithsonian.
