I’ve written about a few of mine that have marked big occasions or achievements like yours. Love these stories and the watch. Well deserved.

commented on Cape Cod polishing | How forgiving is it? ·

Agree with many here, CC pads are great as long as you start slow and with even pressure. Have used on many Seikos and works like a charm as long as you stay away from brushing. I’ve used blue painters tape to isolate brushed areas which can help too.

commented on Watches in the Wild (Spring Break, Volume 59) ·

Brilliant writing and $$ spots as always.

-Agree on Oris: well made, great value for money, nothing speaks to me personally yet

-I think we enthusaists often forget that Tudor is marketed and made for the normie. I love seeing people on here seeth about their marketing videos or lose it over the dimensions of new releases… they’re not reaching for you fool!

The Pelly 39 is great and if they made a quirky version like my LHD I’d prob snag one. You’re right about the Grade 2 Ti, I’ve actually “erased” scratches on the watch head and bracelet with a pen eraser which makes me want every watch in Grade 2 TBH.

Glad you’re back homie. VAR must’ve overturned your card.

No thanks to me, only to all of you who have donated and joined in this. Cheers to those who sacrificed at World Central Kitchen and continue to do so.

commented on Oops I Did It Again: Make a Donation, Win a Jack Mason Strat-O-Timer ·

Absolutely on both counts. I will pitch in to the delivery and toast as well.
