Did some snooping....
Well not exactly, but asked what the old man what he had laying around.

He busts out this:
(I suppose I never noticed before because I was not into YG. I'm noticing now)

Ok...so here is my wifes...she is a landscape Gardner and to my horror she wears this 24 hours a day and has done for years...here is how it held up. It gets sand , soil , mud , grit everything thrown at it. i clean it about once a month. It was bought in 1994 and worn as her daily beater every day since.

Counter intuitive I know but these scares on how bezel will hold up are not valid concerns ...

Hashhhaaa.

Clearly you have met my father before.



He's actually super selfless when it comes to his family.

He told me the YM is there for me anytime I want it. The reason he won't give up the dd2, is because he loves wearing his sons watch.

I've got to admit that it gives me all sorts of warmth insude when I think about it. It also gives me an excuse to research buying a YG dd2 someday. Ha.

Bluesy first tho, I think.

That's a great thing on both ends Seth I remember reading you posting this before. My dad is the same way with his family. Some people aren't as lucky as us like that and I'm very thankful for it. He taught me a lot of things and a lot of them I use daily. I'm grateful to be able to help him out when he asks or when he doesn't, just because I can
