I’ve two new watches for the collection. A Timex Waterbury Traditional Chronograph 41mm silver oxide SR927SW & a Sieko SWR049P1. My Vencero Apex Tachometer has stopped functioning. I can no longer set the hour & minute hands, the other complications function. So I went looking for a replacement and brought the Timex. One of my watches on the buy list was a tank style. Sieko does not list any on their site however I found this on Amazon for $145 US. So I bought it.

I was sitting in the backyard last night with my beautiful wife and we started talking watches. She has a similar affliction (spelled INTEREST) 😎 I had mentioned that I was really looking at buying a Vortic watch. I had toured their facility in April of this year and met the owner at it really got me intrigued. Since then I have come to hear that the owner had a stroke at 34 yrs old and will take up to 3 years before he is able to resume where he was. I know his wife has taken control of the day to day and they have other watchmakers there building watches, but I was thinking about purchasing a watch both to satisfy my desire to have one, but to also help them in my small way. That being said my wife and I picked 3 that we liked, but because of other events in our life she spelled (We) decided to wait a little bit maybe a month or 2. She made very valid points 🙏 That however, didn't stop me thinking about my short list of watches. They are pictured here and in no particular order. They cover a variety of price points, obviously the Omega Moon Watch has a very soft spot with me, but that will be way down the road if ever. I'm coming to the group to tell me these are all horrible choices and I should be committed or more seriously about your thoughts on each based on what you know about me and my collection so far. I'll call out @Warren Money @G R @James Milson @Robert Meyers @Chad Smith @Brett Sutton @Justin Tillery @Gunny Khan @David Denham Jr & @Oscar D Specifically but really want to hear from you all! And of course if you think I should have something else PLEASE tell me that too! 😎

As we were leaving I had to get one more shot of the Phylida with Spaceship Earth, this time lit up at night.

Broke out the orange seiko sports for golf today. It was ominous but turned out beautiful.
