As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

I caved and bit the bullet at $225. I can’t imagine it being a disappointment at that price.

Nothing coming in the mail, but I know what's coming on Christmas morning, and I'm stoked. :-)

I have two Vostok Amphibias on their way from mother Russia. One for me and one for my brother in law who is not a watch person at all but likes history and actually dives recreationally.

That Braun digital is very attractive, and I nearly never like digitals.

The Dagaz was a steal. I half wish I could have convinced myself I needed one.

Yeah I was really tempted to order the dagaz as well. But ultimately went for the Boldr venture because I didn't want another automatic. Titanium+sapphire for under $95? Can't go wrong.

Indeed. Saw one of those recently in person. Very nice watch, sharp looking, legible, well-sized, thin, and light. It was on the wrist of a local field watch fan enthusiast when I ran into him at a watch store. Having seen it, I had to work especially hard to talk myself out of it during the sale. I knew I wouldn't wear it much outside of a honeymoon period though, so in the end, I passed, but that's just me and also just me having too many watches already. I expect anyone who bought one is going to be very happy with it.

Previous time I'd seen the Venture owner, he'd been wearing the new no-date Hamilton Khaki Field handwind, another cracking field watch and the first of those I'd seen in the wild too. (If a watch store can be considered to be part of "the wild," that is.)
