    So I sat my sons, ages 11 and 13, down today. I showed them the Seamaster and the Swatch, and said someday, each of you will get one of these watches. Now, who wants to go shovel that snow?

    Frankly, I wear very few watches I collect. I don't like to wear watches I don't service and I don't like to service more than one watch a year, at most.

    I though about this fact... and realized that if I wasn't going to wear them - I might as well focus more on pocket watches. They're incredibly affordable, compared to wristwatches, and came in countless flavors. It's also a new frontier for me. Very exciting territory.

    Ok! I admit I am weak and have sinned, all my great intentions fell by the wayside.
    Lady "A" approves but perhaps a bit to much :unsure:

    Buncha enablers around here! ::facepalm2::

    Seriously though, this thing is awesome. Even though it's a diver, it sits low on the wrist like a Speedmaster, and it strikes me as the modern straight-lug Speedmaster / Autavia that Omega and TAG should be making!

    Thanks! I wasn't planning on buying a modern JLC anytime soon, but there are some real dangerous people around these parts....

    The deployment is sexy. Never seen a black one before? What watch you wearing it on? Speedy or Seamaster?
