My collection isn’t big so this is the same watch used for compliance last time - but hey - I put it on a different strap for ya! Happy Friday all!

It's not the size of the collection that counts. That Hamilton is a beautiful piece! For what it's worth, when Dub first posted the "rules" I thought I might be able to make it a week without recycling the exact same thing. Yesterday I picked up a quartz watch that I had all but given up on, put it on a NATO and loved it.

Friday 7/19/19 Letter to the Legion

Dear Legion,
I hope this letter finds you in a super-dope state of being. I've been thinking a bit about the issue of daily compliance and I have a suggestion that may help some of you. I know that, in part, the point of the exercise is to wear some of the watches that you might not normally wear. And that is all well and good. But who amongst us doesn't love buying a new watch?! Not one of us.......that's who. We all love it. And we all love a bargain. It's one of the things that has united us. And we likely all love killing two birds with one stone too. Which brings me to my suggestion; to buy yourself a Timex field watch. It seems that some of you have difficulty finding something for Timex Tuesday and for Field Watch Friday. Why not buy yourself a cheap and good-looking beater that could potentially cover both days. Timex makes a ridiculous number of models of field watches. Some for as little as $20 and most for well under $70. Right now, Certified Watch Store has a pretty incredible selection. Timex itself is also having a sale on their site. And of course ebay may be the ultimate place to shop for Timex. Some of the keywords to look for are Expedition, Waterbury, MK1, Allied. Even the Weekender is basically a field watch. And if none of those suit you, you could opt for a cheap digital like an Ironman to just cover your Tuesdays. And your field watch need not be boring. Timex makes sober re-creations of classic military watches as well as bright outlandish field watches. I'm linking to The Timex selection at CWS and posting some photos of possibilities below. Just a suggestion you are free to pursue or ignore. That is all.
Seek deals and be well,

Also remember that ALL watches purchased from the HUISABH thread are ALWAYS compliant. Therefore one of these Timexes could not only fill in Tuesdays and Fridays, but any other hole in your week.

And [mention]Yinzburgher[/mention], I was gonna call you out on preaching all this compliance talk and not even posting a pic. Then I saw the next post. . .

Field Watch Friday compliant. Gonna have a beverage here soon, but am debating between bourbon and beer. I'll check back in with my decision.

Oops, never updated my decision. Went with the bourbon. . .followed by beer. Good choices to have. I also love using this glass. I don't remember if I told the story behind it here or not, but Mrs Dub Rubb still gets a laugh out of it being my primary shot glass.

Compliant today with the new crown jewel of my modest collection, the SRP775 given to me by my wife as an early anniversary gift. On a plain black strap from Erika, because I'm not a bracelet guy. Image

Hope all the affected members of the Legion are surviving the heat wave alright. Pretty fortunate with a mild day today here. Seiko Saturday compliant and soon to be carnivore and beverage compliant.

Doing just fine here. There's a reason why I put up with the traffic, high cost of living and insane real estate prices of the California coast. :-)
