I took my I took my 105.102 speedmaster I recently acquired in for it’s scheduled service today. It hadn’t been done yet, I literally bought it within hours of it being in shop - but I wanted to wear it a few times before being without it for a few weeks. End up at my other local watch shop trying on a few Seamasters, Grand Seiko, navitimer, etc. but ended up surprised and leaving with a brand new Seamaster after walking around with it on for a while. I have had my eye on a dive watch for a little while and it just felt so welcome on my wrist. I initially went in looking for a blue face dive watch, then almost bought the Nekton edition Seamaster, but then ultimately walked away with this. I think the next Items are a blue bezel Tudor pelagos and an IWC Pilot but those can come later this year. I left quite happy with this buy and am excited to have something I can “beat” around a little more than my marvelous Speedy. Bonus - the wife didn’t make mention of it when I texted her a photo in the shop and she said go for it. Got home and she even complimented my new purchase. View attachment 1135139
haha, nice! No better feeling than to get the thumbs up from the boss after a crack purchase like that!
I would say so - she has her own collection of diamonds so that generally keeps anything like this from becoming an issue. Exactly! Very fortunate on that front. I tend to get sucked into (expensive) hobbies very easily - so she is used to it to a degree. The thumbs up is always a plus.
