Good morning ladies and gentlemen, Not too long ago I was out of town and I actually forgot my watch or rather a more classy watch to wear to dinner. We had went to a flea market and I found this watch there, it is not a name brand or expensive but I loved the look of it. And let me tell you I have gotten more compliments on this watch that I would have very imagined! People see it and are always complimenting on the look and style. It’s not expensive or fancy but the look of it I love and the feel of it worth every penny and more. It met he need when I needed it.

Thanks to RMRS and Tim at Monterey I received my Kitty Hawk Blue dial watch. Really my first field watch and casual watch I own. - Movement: Seagull manual-wind St3600 mechanical operating at 21,600 bph - Case: 42mm diameter, brushed stainless steel - Case Height: 11.5mm - Lug-to-Lug: 52.5mm - Lug Width: 22mm - Dial: Black with small seconds sub-dial - Indices: High-legibility with C3 lume - Crystal: Sapphire - Caseback: Display caseback - Crown: Oversize with "M" logo

I started 2026 with a list. I said I was going to allow myself three watch purchases through out the year. One would be a Hamilton Khaki Field Watch, one a Dan Henry, maybe, 1962 Daytona, and at the constant urging of @Warren Money and the sharing of @Chad Smith, @Scott Critchfield, and others and their appreciation of the Erebus brand, I wanted a MOP. Well, I’m down to two watches that are planned and budgeted for now in 2026 as I welcome the Erebus Mother of Pearl to my collection today. She’s a lovely addition to the collection and will be worn proudly starting a week from Monday as she’s going to make the work trip to Kansas City with me, considering a nice bump in sales with a timely search allowed me to purchase her earlier than expected.

I just returned from a week of work travel and found this wonderful package on my desk! I had submitted my Watch Story into the watch challenge a few weeks ago and was blown away that @Antonio Centeno @Antonio Cent @Antonio O. Centeno and the team as well as countless others here would deem my story worthy of winning. The gift that was sent is this amazing book! I can't wait to dive in!! Thank you everyone for all of your continued support and the interactions we share!! 🙏

After attending the Watch Webinar with Monterey Watches and hearing Tim's story I couldn't help myself and bought a couple of watches. @Scott Critchfield was right there during the webinar pushing me into the rabbit hole as well!! 😜. Honestly though, I'm a sucker for supporting small businesses and his story was really cool and the watches are just what I was looking for! I've been away for over a week and it was nice to walk into my office and have these sitting on my desk waiting! I look forward to properly showcasing them. Happy Friday everyone!!
