Watcha wearing?

busy as hell at work. Peak season for the intermodal side of the railroad. How the hell are ya bud?

 

I am still alive! So thats somethin!

 

Hell yeah!! always here somewhere man. Planning our backpacking trips for next summer. Will be over in the Wallowa mts again at some point. Not that much further of a drive to meet you somewhere along I84 eh

 

Im down! Just let me know when!

 

Yeah these caught my eye a while back and was hooked. They age over time or you can force the patina too. I have a titanium crono but this has way more character and love the weight. Check out Helson watches. Almost went that route but the 42mm would not have fit my wrist as well. Both great companies that have had a cult following for years. Made in small batches.

 

Haha. This guy is a week old. You have the A8?

 

Appreciate it!

 

Interesting watch, has a Seiko movement, so they only produce the case.

 

Yep, Seiko provides a lot of movements for these boutique watch companies due to their reliability and popularity in Seiko divers. You can also get the ETA and Miyota movements. ETA just ups it a few hundred dollars and they usually use bronze instead of brass which is a bit more too. It's all personal taste or preference when choosing one of these, all good options. Steinhart Ocean One Bronze uses ETA and I almost went that route, but in the end I perfered the amount of brass on the Armida, a bit more rugged. You'll pay a lot more for the watches that make their own movements such as Rolex, Tag, and Oris to name a few.

 

My next piece. Bremont Endurance

 

Sure you don't want one of these...?

 

Yeah I know bremont has been taking shit for their flamboyant marketing strategy, but I'm one of those sucker who really love their designs and can forgive that.

 

Gotta love a company that likes to have fun. Definitely solid watches.

 

IWC 150 Years Jubilee Limited Edition Pilot Chrono

 

Nice. I love me some white faces

 

My Beat to Crap Seiko Automatic. Scratchin 40 years of Oil Patch, Construction & Foot to the Floor Livin'. Day/Date quit workin a while back but still keeps perfect time.

 

Not to be used for navigatonal purposes. Yet I still do. Time, tide, tide faze nsync with moon.

 

what did you do to that watch? threw it out of a speeding car?

 

Ripcurl?

 

Naw, just a little rubbin' 'n bumpin' off some drill stem & such. Caught myself a couple of times startin' to weld with it on so it's got some spatter too but not a lot.
