ROAD TRIIIIIIIPPPPPP Stopped of and grabbed a coffee at the local and also had one in the travel mug in the car. The Islander Greenport got the run. I am only away for 3 days but bought 4 watches with me 🤔

I haven't worn this much since the weather turned cold, I opted for more Leather strapped watches than Bracelets. But I just could leave the chameleon inside any longer! Happy Friday everyone!!

Final thoughts: I've had this watch on for 3 days straight only taking it off the sleep which tells me everything I need to know. On the positive side. That sunburst dial is exquisitely done @Brett Sutton you were correct the dial finishing does get better as you go up in price. The strap is ultra comfortable, the deployment clasp is superb, it's has the bit of tension to it when you close it that is strangely satisfying to feel @Jeffrey Plotka made a point about those small details that add to the experience and this is one of them. The bezel action is crisp with zero back play. I've heard many people say the dialed is unbalanced because of it not having a numeral at 3 o'clock, I disagree because symmetry and balance are not the same thing, the watch is balanced by the bold crown guards on that side. Now there has to be a negative right? I think the case side brushing could be a bit more refined, I've compared it to my San Martin GMT but that is about it.

One of the Advisors I helped retire this past year gave me an incredible thank you gift. Interestingly, depending on the light, the face seems to change color - tan, silver, white. I love the textured face. I present the Omega SeaMaster Grey Dial 300M. Another Grail off my list. Two down, three to go. May you have an equally enjoyable start to your New Year. Description Grey (Waves) dial. Silver-tone stainless steel case with a silver-tone stainless steel band. Automatic movement. 300 meters / 1000 feet water resistance. Uni-directional Rotating bezel.

Project day for me!! Shoe restoring for a friend. And oiling cedar planks for the closet. Thought my Grail should help me with the heavy lifting!! Now as I clean up a cigar and bourbon with my Holy Grail watch!! Happy 2026!
