New Watch(es)!

This past week I visited one of my favorite dealers and picked up a few new watches.

I've been eyeing a new Sea Dweller for a bit; I finally got to try it on and it felt really good. I also picked up a Franck Muller Vanguard Crazy Hours, another watch I've been interested in for many years (excuse the bad pic), and finally a Breguet Marine (titanium), which is really beautiful in person and wears really well.

I'm going back in September and November, so more to come!

That's a haul in one trip.

Now what time is it?
Especially with the FM Crazy Hours?

I'm really digging the Crazy Hours. The design of the watch is so not me, but I love the complication. It's so cool to see it jump!

Nice week. The SD looks great on your wrist. I like that Vanguard too even though I typically don't dig those sorts of watches. Congrats!

Nice haul! Although, personally, I'm not a fan of the present-generation Breguet Marine, the previous gen was far better-looking, IMO

Seems to me you're one of his favorite clients, not just the other way around.

Three great watches, I love how classy the Breguet is! Where them often.

September update!

Picked up a VTNR yesterday after a two year wait. I'm left handed so I just had to get one!
