Watches as rewards
There’s more to this story, but the important part is that I have lost a lot of weight over the last several months by getting back to healthy eating habits, working out regularly, and maintaining strict sobriety. I’m not sure of the exact number of pounds I’ve lost, but I’ve dropped two shirt sizes (L to SM) and my waistline has gone down by four inches (33 to 29). I think the grand total is probably somewhere around 50 lbs.
ANYWAY, as a reward to myself for being able to fit into clothes I almost gave up on and donated to Goodwill, and for getting back to being a healthy and fit (and sober) boy, I thought I would buy me a righteous watch. Not sure yet what I’ll get, but the Hamilton Murph is calling me like the crack rocks called Pookie.
Have any of you done something like this? What were you celebrating, and what watch did you buy? I wanna hear about some wins!
(Okay yes I admit that this post is a bit self-congratulatory, but goddammit I think I’ve earned the right to chuff my own bits a little.)

Congratulations, that's an impressive feat. Rewarding yourself with a watch is a great way of adding a reward to the feat and a meaning to a new piece in your collection.
Good job man! No shame in being proud of what you’ve achieved, keep at it! The Murph is a beautiful watch too!
Awesome!! I too went on the same journey and still at it!! Congratulations!! The best reward is feeling better about your physical and mental health!! The watches are extra bonus!! 🍻💪 also plus bringing sexy back is the best !! The missus is not complaining either!! You know what I’m sayin’ 😜🤫

Great job, man!!! The 38mm Murph?
That's probably the best reason to get yourself a watch!
Great job, man!!! The 38mm Murph?
Thanks! Yeah, the 38mm. I’m smitten with it. 😍
I on the brink of a 100 pound weight loss. I have been thinking of getting the Hamilton Murph watches in both 42 and 38 mm to remember the effort.

Thank you!
I mean, just look at this thing. It’s perfect—the proportions, the hands, the indices, the colors, all of it. And it all works together to create what I think is the ideal blend of form and function in an absolutely gorgeous package. It’s elegant and rugged and I f*#king love it.

Alright, I’m hearing it. What are your thoughts of the Lorier Falcon II? And the Smiths Everest?
