Happy 2nd Birthday to My Benyar BY-5185M!! ๐ŸŽ‚

The moment I saw it, my eyes were glued. It looked familiar, yet spoke its own uniqueness.

Image

Its fresh green color, and vibrant smile simply called to me. There was an indescribable connection.

Image

When I saw a wrist shot, I just knew this was going to be the next member of my humble collection.

Image

Why? Because it was an unassuming yet simple BeautY.

I had eagerly anticipated its arrival. When it did, I was not disappointed.

Image
Image

Infatuation turned into admiration. Admiration turned into amazement. I was awestruck.

Image
Image

Today, after 2 years, my Benyar BY-5185M continues to amaze and captivate me.

While working...

Image
Image

On many a business meetings...

Image
Image

While driving...

Image

On errands...

Image
Image

Even while doing some gardening...

Image

It's been a lovely companion, while reading and writing...

Image

While enjoying some music...

Image
Image

During get togethers with family at home...

Image
Image

Or, while simply enjoying some drinks with friends...

Image

On countless occasions, these past 2 years, it's been with me while simply chillaxing...

Image
Image

Or having breakfast...

Image

While on dates with my lady...

Image
Image

And, while enjoying my daily cup of coffee...

Image
Image
Image
Image

I am a simple man, with simple delights. This one is definitely one of them.

Happy 2nd Birthday to my Benyar BY-5185M!!

Here's to more years together!

*Update: I decided to give this lovely watch to my nephew for Christmas 2023. He was amazed when he opened the box it was in. I trust it will continue to amaze him for many years ahead.

If your not in marketing, you may not be optimally employed. So much love. So many bands.

Cool decorated rotor, right? That was definitely one of its surprises when it arrived. It's a Seagulll ST-6 movement. Currently running at -10secs/day.

Hahaha, I'm not. I just enjoy telling stories. But, interestingly enough, I have constantly been consulted by many a marketing folk re. their many creative ideas. ;) And, yep, I enjoy putting various bracelets and straps on my timepieces.

Absolutely fantastic watch. The ST-6 is very underrated.

Thanks, bud! Yeah, the ST-6 can stand its own against other higher brand movements in terms of consistent accuracy.

Thanks, my friend. To be fair, 3 shots in the post are from my Canon EOS3000D. ;)

I've had them in 2 watches so far, and although I no longer have those watches, there was never anything wrong with them.
