What a great wife you have!
My GF (probably future wife) accepts the watch collecting. Especially since I stopped buying a bunch of randoms haha.
She has also started an "Omega wedding watch fund" that she will use to buy or help me buy this watch on or before or wedding (whenever that may be)
This watch too is one of my top top Grails. Congrats sir

That's awesome! Sounds like you found yourself a keeper too! They will never understand it, much like how we view their shoes and purses and sunglasses or whatever. All we can ask for is acceptance.

Congratulations [mention]Dub Rubb[/mention]. I hope to purchase a grail sometime in the (distant ) future.

Congratulations Dub! That’s definitely on my grail list too.

Beverage compliant this evening.

Maybe we can amend the rules and add Speedy Tuesday to Tool Watch/Timex Tuesday...

No disrespect to the watch in question as it is a beauty, but how is a Speedmastet not a tool watch? It was the best tool for the job to take to the moon, so that is enough of a tool for me.

It's considered a tool watch, right? It's just a luxury tool watch now. At least that's my thought.

Sure, luxury tool watch is apt. This would apply to a Rolex sub, GMT, etc. For me, anything over $1,000 (and probably a lot less) counts in this category. At any rate, they are all welcome on Tuesdays (and any other day really).

Maybe a tool watch use rule could go into place. If you wear a tool watch for the explicit purpose of its function other than basic time telling then you could be compliant. Timing steaks with a dive bezel or timing your slick car laps with a Daytona, Speedmaster or other Chrono for instance would count.

Bonus points to the first one to post a pic with high end chrono at a slick track.

Went for a stroll on this very mild evening and decided to have a cigar as well..

I really love this Komandirskie, is it an 020 case? Was it an SE? If so, it is basically the perfect Vostok. No date, bright and fun but with some legit WR. Either way, looks great.

Sounds like my kind of evening. A little alone time outdoors with a nice cigar? Yes please. Throw a little bourbon in the mix, and I am a very happy camper. Glad you are enjoying yourself MoT, I know you have been busy collecting the stats for this month. It's been INSANE!!!

I love this Komandirskie too. Glad I finally pulled the trigger on one, as it was one of the first watches I noticed on WUS as a total noob and 2 years later it still resonated.

Not sure about the case, but it is not an SE. I actually like the no date here for the symmetry of the dial and yea just a fun watch to throw on and not really worry about. Picked mine up on eBay during the last 10% off sale, but Meranom generally has them in stock.

[mention]rub dubb[/mention] you are killin' it! I knew something was coming on Thursday but we have been too busy for me to even peek. I never would have guessed that it would be a Speedy!!!

As far as tool watches, that may be a fluid definition, but take it from the guy with a Saturn I, Saturn, V and a Space Shuttle in his avatar....the Speedmaster fits the bill! Horilogically I'm not qualified to speak on many (if any) subjects but I am fairly well versed in manned spaceflight history .

Forgot to post yesterday for Field Watch Friday, but here is the pics I took for it. The trusty Glycine Moonphase.

Seiko Saturday compliance.

[Dub Rubb]

Not compliant today, but can you really blame me?!? Made up for it with beverage compliance.

I will also admit, and maybe this should go in the true confessions thread, but I took this watch to the AD to have the bracelet sized. I was ashamed of it, but the screws were stubborn AF(apparently due to an insane amount of loctite). Apparently they have to heat up the bracelets to loosen the loctite and then adjust. $20 and my man card to adjust versus me stripping screw heads and ruining a bracelet seemed worth it in the end.
