·Not me. Although last year I did put my stapler on the left of my work table instead of the right. Was really a highlight.
Sometimes it's the small steps of getting out of one's comfort zone that are important. 😉

··Keeps his worms in a ball instead of a can.Mid 70’s Speedmaster or a 42mm 1st Gen planet Ocean 2500. Pic below of the planet ocean.
those 2500 are rugged and classically good looking without having fake retro cues. While 42mm they wear small for planet oceans.

Definitely one of omega's best modern dials, the 12 6 9 font is taken directly from the big triangle Seamaster (or based directly on it), right? I kinda see that as a retro cue, but there is no mistaking the modernity of the rest of the piece.

··Ash @ ΩFIn the cheap and extremely durable category, the Dynamic III is a very spartan almost military looking watch with a durable case, sapphire crystal, and solid movement.

·In addition to budget, what are your personal criteria? This watch shouldn't just fit the role of "College Professor" or Police Officer- it should fit who CBM1590 is. We're recommending a variety of watches from almost new and neo-vintage to true vintage, most of which fit our personal tastes.
What size constraints do you have, specifically? 36-41mm case size? What's "too thick?"
What color dial speaks the most to you? What kinds of markers? What style hands?
The watches I choose to wear fit me first and whatever role I occupy second. Perhaps- you want a watch that also marks what seems to be a somewhat fundamental change to you. It still needs to be true to who CBM1590 (especially if we're talking one primary wearer) outside of the role you choose to take.

·a custom built cowboy hat
Super cool. There is a hat maker here in the Pacific Northwest named John Penman (Penman hats). I've a great fedora from him and considered adding another. I don't know if there is a hat thread on this form anywhere but there probably should be, I know that there is a boot thread floating around somewhere.

Of course there is. And there's a book thread, and there's even a video game thread. Now all we need is a thread on extinct mammals and homeothermy, and maybe a thread on growing super hot peppers, and I won't ever have to go anywhere else on the internet!

My son is much, much more interested in Smilodon then Megatherium right now, but he's less, much less interested in the Cenozoic than he is the Mesozoic.
You should check out Andrewsarchus and Thylacosmilus! They give Megatherium a run for its money when it comes to cool extinct megafauna.
