Welcome. I am in Vegas too.

commented on You’re going to work in the watch industry! ·

I would work for Breitling. Overall I am not a huge fan of their catalog other than the Aerospace, SuperOcean, Navitimer, and the Chronomat 😬, but it would be cool to go to all the cool events they sponsor.

commented on Am I the only one that misses the old ORIS? ·

I do not own any Oris watches, but I do find myself gravitating to watches that are 5-20 years old. You can obviously get them at a better price, but something about slightly older watches just sings to me. I have a Breitling, Omega, and a couple Seikos that fit into the 5-20 year old category. I find this especially true with Seiko. I am probably going to take some arrows here, but I go for Seikos from the Prospex line prior to the Prospex logo being added to the dial. I just think they are better built watches. Fire away 😎.

I second your opinion about Mizutani Camera.

I hiked Mt Fuji with my SARB017. I had to make it a true mountaineers watch.

commented on Are YOU part of the Alliance? ·

I think you have a good argument about how tall a Nato strap can make your watch sit on the wrist, but overall I am a big fan of Nato straps. Admittedly, on thicker watches I will usually cut off the extra under strap so it sits closer to the wrist. I am also in the military so a big part of it is the aesthetic.
