Bathy by the Bay…

(Okay, it’s the East River in Manhattan, but still.)

Who else is closing out the work with a Fifty Fathoms?

Inkosi for Dinner…

Anyone else have a taste for the Sebbie’s beefier brother?

Still my favorite contemporary Tudor…

It’s an utterly ridiculous metal to make a watch out of in this day and age, particularly one that is nominally intended for hard use as a diver. (Yes, I’m aware that we’re all using dive computers these days, but still.) That said, it has a unique glow and man, I’m a sucker for a gray dial. Sure, it tarnishes, but that’s half the fun. 😉

Any other BB58 925 fans here?

(It’s riding on an Erika’s Originals “Mirage” MN strap.)

Too much fun…

My favorite Muppet, and now my favorite Oris. (Someone lend me $10,500.)

Two RedBar LEs walk into a bar…

Met up with a buddy for a drink, and he happened to rocking his RedBar LE II. Figured it was a good opportunity to capture a photo of it with my RedBar LE I. 🤷🏽‍♂️😉

‘Mog Three Ways…

– Round nose, cone nose, step nose

– Bronze, aluminum, titanium

What’s your favorite style/material? Personally speaking, I love the absolute minimalism of a straight body cone nose, but a recessed step nose is pure Autmog. As for materials, I love the glow of aluminum, the patina and heft of bronze, and the strength of titanium – basically, I love ‘em all. 🤷🏽‍♂️

(Now, my kingdom for a clip!)

Titanium, two ways…

Straight up, and ceramised. (Also, when it comes to lume, Blancpain never misses.)

Aquis “Staghorn Restoration” LE…

My first Oris, bought directly from the team during the press trip launch back in 2017.

Still my favorite version of the Aquis, even after all these years.

Whatcha’ll caring to close out the week?

New ArkPro Ultra…

I wound up giving my previous ArkPro Ultra to my nephew last week. (I was visiting my sister in LA and he took a “shine” to it, so to speak. 😉)

As such, I had to order a new one - in black this time around - and now I’m back to square one with the ArkBeat. 😒 (I made it up to blue with my OG Pro. Ugh.)

Anyway, I’m digging the stealth look, even if it makes it that much harder (impossible) to find in the dark.

Dark Star on a Sunny Day…

Been a while since I grabbed this one from the ol’ watch box.

Still love it!
