Stopped at the mall to charge the Tesla with my rep Yacht-Master and figured I’d kill some time at the AD.

Well… apparently the watch was doing more work than I was. 😂

The staff kept checking out my RCF YM, and somehow the conversation turned into them offering me the 1918 in gold on bracelet.

I have to admit — excellent watch. Absolutely stunning in person. 👌

Of course, my first thought was: “Can’t wait for an excellent rep of this to come out.” 😂

Tesla charged. Wrist inspected. AD temptation successfully resisted.

10/10 charging stop. Would do again. ⌚️⚡️

Probably, but the two-tone VSF Seamaster wanted to tag along for the ride anyway. The blue dial contrast with the off-road setup was too good not to capture!

Today on the wrist is my newly acquired VSF Milgauss, a watch with a history that resonates deeply with me as both a physician and a scientist.

Was originally developed in the 1950s for scientists, engineers, and researchers working around strong electromagnetic fields. Couldn't get the gen, so had to get the next best thing.

What do ya'll think? Can the datewheel be fixed or should I ask for a different piece? Looks too cheesy on indoor pics but looks OK in natural light. Will appreciate your help

Caught a rare quiet moment between rounds and noticed the sunlight bouncing off the dial. The green rubber strap surprisingly matches the infamous hospital "grenade scrubs" better than I expected.

For those in medicine: which is your favorite rep?

Was able to snag one during the summer sale on AliX, amazed by the quality. Already ordered a Yellow Gold on black strap version as well
