Let’s see those Aurora lume shots!

I don’t have the best view of the northern sky up here on the mountain but we still got a pretty good show. Couldn’t help but snap a few lume shots.

First time seeing one in “the green”

I was pleasantly surprised. A nice TI case and beautiful green dial. The bracelet was comfortable. Just an all around nice fun watch.

It’s everything you imagine. It ruined me as a collector because nothing is as versatile. My speedy, sold. I never wore it. My NTTD, for sale. It’s not as cool or versatile as the 300 and doesn’t see much wrist time. I’ve been lusting after a polar Explorer since the 80’s… now that I’m in a position to buy one I’m kind of afraid it won’t measure up to the 300.

That Longines is a nice one.

commented on Who do you watch? (Pun not intended) ·

I used to really enjoy Adrian’s content but something’s changed in the last few months. Teddy is always good and recently Britt and Andrew have started to hit home with me more than they used to. I really can’t stand Tgv or Nico. Other than them I’ll at least try to watch whenever the algorithm suggests. 90% of the time I change channels. I don’t know if it’s me or the content but something is getting stale.

Watches wine and travel. Can’t go wrong with that combo.

commented on Road trip! Headed to San Francisco… ·

Do I need a ticket/is there an admission fee? If it’s open to the public maybe I’ll pop down on Sunday for a walk around.

lol no I’m in NotCal. You guys only have 4 seasons?!? You are so lucky lol. This snow rain thing is very common here but not usually this late in the season. A freeze in May happens and rain in May happens but not usually at the same time.
