The new Strap Habit strap came today. Looks a lot better than the previous as it sits against the case so much nicer. Snoopster is looking Perfect now.

Figured I’d kick off the first work week of the year following some semblance of an order, and this one really needs more wrist time. 40mm at 8.4 thick, flat sapphire crystal applied indices and a fantastic but subtle texture to the dial and just enough Seiko lume. With 100m WR this really could be a fantastic GADA even though I tend to treat it like more of a dress watch. Happy Humpday y’all!

Up early to see my son off to school for his final semester before he's unleashed on the unsuspecting world.😃 It's been great having him home for holiday break, but I know he's been bored out of his skull being here. "How do you know that?", you ask. School doesn't start up again for another two weeks and he's suddenly inspired to return to get a headstart on finding an on-campus job.🤣 Interestingly, his new girlfriend is also returning early.🤔 Starting my day with my wonderful, generous and thoughtful gift from my wife. The TAG Heuer Carrera Montreal Anniversary. Have an awesome Wednesday everyone. Hug your loved ones.

This morning there were 2 white dials, this beautiful Bambino and my face this morning when I went to sit in the garden with my morning coffee, the first snake in our garden for the summer, a highly venomous Puff Adder under the table where we sit.

The Beachmaster Blue (OH0-624) is a purpose-built tool watch designed to handle extreme environments while still looking great on the wrist. Priced at $855, this Swiss-made quartz GMT combines a patented dual-bezel timing system, 300 metres of water resistance, and serious shock protection in a compact 40mm case. The sunray metallic blue dial really comes alive in different lighting, paired with subtle mirror-polished case facets that add just enough refinement. Pops of golden sandstone yellow on the 12-hour bezel marker and Beachmaster wordmark reference Redend Point, Studland — just 4.15 nautical miles from the brand’s HQ — and the historic Fort Henry observation bunker where Allied leaders famously observed pre-D-Day exercises. Inside is a high-performance Swiss Ronda 515.24H quartz movement with an independently adjustable 24-hour GMT function, making this a genuinely practical watch for travel as well as diving. The internal bi-directional timing bezel uses a ceramic ball-bearing click-lock system, operated via twin hobnail-knurled crowns at 2 and 4 o’clock. Finished with a domed sapphire crystal, strong lume, and a cut-to-fit rubber diver’s strap with deployant clasp, the Beachmaster Blue is clearly built to be used — not babied. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0oD10sSGb0
