Starting a new job with this beauty

After a year of unemployment and delivering grocerys for a living I’m finally back working in my field and what better to start a new job than with the company of my Seiko SSA231.

The open heart gives it a certain fun that makes it work in both formal and more casual settings, the center dial has a lovely pattern (that you can see on the second picture) and the hands are a bright blue with the right light. 

It was a christmas present from my girlfriend back in 2020 while I was working from home, as I was let go in may 2021 I hadn’t had the chance to show it off in an office and I was wearing it for going to dinner or parties but not regularly, because I bumped my wrist a lot delivering packages. 

This will be my daily driver for the forseable future and I couldn’t be happier (both for the new job and for the chance to wear my watch on a daily basis).

Wow, what a great watch and congratulations on the new job.  Good luck!!!

Forget the watch (which is awesome, love that subtle fishscale inner dial), I am super excited that you're back to working in your field of choice.

Many years ago, before starting my own business, I was blown out of job that I genuinely loved and spent a year unemployed trying to figure out what I was going to do next.  I'm a big believer that works gives us purpose so I can relate to some of the psychological damage that happens when you're not doing the thing you feel you're meant to do.

Slainte is tainte!

Congratulation!!! May the new job be rewarding.

Always feels good to be back in the field you want to be in. May the new position (not to mention the fantastic watch and girlfriend) bring you many years of happiness.

Excellent story on so many levels. I wear a Seiko SSA445 from time to time, so I have a fondness for that style of open heart watch :)

Thanks! The open heart style was not in my radar at the time so when I received it, it was a great and welcome surprise!!
