Been pretty busy lately. Trying to get back to posting my WOTD.

So for the last couple months, I’ve been coaching my youngest son’s coach pitch baseball team. Luckily, we are the hometown Reds, so I already have lots of hats and apparel. Every game, I would wear my Oris Aquis with the red strap to match our uniform. Tonight we played for the championship. One of the dads, who I have known for quite some time, decided to wear his Oris with the red strap to match! He has the most incredible collection that I’ve ever seen everything from Casio to Patek to Vacheron, he has it. He decided to wear this one tonight for the team spirit! Unfortunately, we lost a heartbreaker, but at least we made it to the championship!

Many thanks to @Brett Sutton for posting his outstanding blue Longines HydroConquest and sending me down yet another horological rabbit hole. At roughly $1,600 retail, I wasn't planning on adding one anytime soon, but Jomashop had other ideas, and after stacking a few discounts, I couldn't resist bringing this 41mm home for just under $900. Mine came on the stainless steel bracelet instead of the signature blue rubber strap, so naturally I enlisted AI to visualize a few alternatives. The results were so convincing that I've gone from deciding whether to buy a blue strap to debating which blue strap—or perhaps all of them. After all, every watch collector knows that the real cost of a watch is rarely the watch itself...it's the accessories that inevitably follow.

Honeymooning hard with this beauty! The more I see of it, the more I absolutely love!
