[emoji15][emoji15][emoji15] damn man! When did this happen?!? Last I saw you were just trying on an Omega! Congrats my guy! That is one sexy looking watch. If you keep it up, you'll soon have a compliant omega for every day of the week! Aside from Saturday of course.

Thanks! I picked it up yesterday, I think I've blown my watch budget for the foreseeable future. My wife and I went to Valley Fair without the kids to do some shopping. So naturally I said let's go look at watches. I've really been wanting the 1957 Trilogy but my wife really likes the modern Railmaster. Was going back and forth and she made the final decision. Was able to haggle and got it 25% off including tax.

I'll get another shot later at night

Man that thing looks great! I take it you are at the niners game? While not a fan myself, I will be rooting for them for you!(and the wife I guess).

Started the day off with this year’s Father’s Day watch, a Citizen with a “D” on the crown. My wife made steak and rice for lunch and I used to SKX as sort of a count down bezel. I enjoy this watch and started thinking about picking up a SKX013 or a new Seiko 5 model to put a 12 hour bezel on.

Thanks! Really liking it, the blue dial looks really good in sun light. Yeah, I went to the niner game with Father-in-law and Brother-in-law. Had a blast!

Thank you! Yeah, she's pretty awesome and has great taste. I'm always bugging her showing pictures of watches and getting her take.

Haha, yes! She sees me posting all the time and thinks I'm a nerd. I have a love/hate relationship with this place.

CW Trident...still on the brushed bracelet in place of the original polished center links. That’s a mod, isn’t it?

I'll count it! That looks really good. I used to give CW crap for the knife/fork/spoon handset, but now I feel it really gave them character. The new ones just seem too generic and now I think the handset looks the business.
