I tried to post this a few weeks ago and the link did t work. So, I’m trying it again. This is a story based on a recent trip to NYC.

Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Solar Chronograph — Grey Dial #SSB455 - Product name: Seiko Essentials Sport Chronograph with Grey Dial - Store: Long Island Watch - Original price: $415 - Sale price: $332 - Discount: 20% off (no code needed) - Why it's a good deal: The SSB455 runs Seiko's reliable 8T63 quartz chronograph with sapphire crystal — a combo that usually costs more. 40mm case, stainless bracelet, and that monochrome grey dial punches above its price. Seiko is the community's gold standard for value, and this model rarely sees discounts.

@Tim Hermes just gave the Brand Ambassadors a sneak peak at what's coming for this Fall. Too soon to share pics, but DANNNG! I'm collecting my couch change now and saving up for at least two of the pieces and colorways which are going to be dropping. Which also means, I need to delete two pieces from my collection. New rule for me - if I add, I need to subtract. Have an awesome finish to your June and your 1st half of 2026.

When I went to NYC last weekend for a solo watch centric vacation I took notes on what I saw and what made impressions on me. One of my employees took my notes and made a funny audio story from the notes. Some of the diction and timing is off and a few words are wrong but for taking 12,000 character and reducing it down to 5,000 I thought he did a good job with the story. The audio file is attached at the end of the pictures What do you think?

This has to be one of the more interesting things I’ve seen. In a room full of Rolexes this would get noticed!!!
