Cheers from WNY

Good day all, long time lurker finally signing up from western (upstate) NY. The standard black sub on a customer wrist drew me in years ago but I’ve never been in a position to scratch the itch. My father passed last week and I’ve come to the conclusion to sell his motorcycle and buy an EDW I’ll keep forever which will appreciate unlike his modern fuel injected Harley. I’ve come to grips with letting it go as I prefer my bike nor am I up to storing such a large bike forever. Thoughts would be different if it were a pan, shovel or a knuckle etc. The modern orange hand Explorer 2 I think fills the bill for every day wear for me. The brushed finish should ward off the desk marks that a polished band would show more and it’s on the subtle side. Not that a black sub is a bad watch it would draw more attention because it’s more recognizable. I’ll be watching the classifieds and any tips for a safe first transaction are welcomed.
