WatchTimes
·Well I turned 50 and my wife asked me if I wanted a new watch.
When getting a watch from my wife I have to think long and hard to ensure I pick a watch I won't want to flip.
Ive owned a couple vintage speedies in the past but just never wore them much as I was always worried about beating them up.
I decided to go with a 3861 Sapphire Sandwich!
I got it last week right before we went to North Carolina where I was going to drive an Indy car.
Well we are one week in and while I have several other watches which I usually rotate daily this has been on my wrist every day since it arrived.
I have the new style clasp and really like it, I tend to loosen it up mid day (I may order a half link for it)
I get some people find the new clasp silly but I find being able to adjust it so easily a big bonus. I know you can just do it to the older one with a toothpick but well I don't always have a toothpick handy LOL
This is one of the more comfortable watches I have worn in sometime, I almost forget I am wearing it sometimes.
Despite having wrists just under 7 in I really like the 42 mm, I like it much more than the original size.
Anyway that's about all, here is a wrist shot when I was in the race suit and one of me in the car getting ready to take off.
