Couple of them are it seems. Still waiting on the 116600 to follow, though I’ve seen a few. Just not the right one yet.
August 27, 20223 yr Citizen's attempt to make a Grand Seiko rival. The case is beautifully retro. The hands and dials are clearly GS. The textured dial invokes what Lange might do but taken to extremes. I'm not in love with the bracelet though. Enough to not want to buy it new (its GS-priced) but I'll take a stab at a used one if I run by them. https://watchesbysjx.com/2021/03/citizen-calibre-0200-review.html

I would sell it for around $2k or make an offer.
August 29, 20223 yr Back in the game for real now - my first nice watch was a Sinn 857. Sold it along with all of my watch collection over the years. Figured the 857 was a good place to start my collection back up. Limited edition version for Lufthansa 777 cargo pilots and a few dealers (777 pieces):

He made a big stink about shipping as soon as he showed me receipt of the wire so I caved and shipped it before the money showed up. As expected, cash never showed up. I'm an idiot. I didn't even tell anyone about it I was so embarrassed and just liquidated my watch collection to wash the feeling away. Oddly enough, years later the guy reached out and said he wanted to make up for all his past deeds and ended up wiring me the money.

September 23, 20223 yr 5th anniversary coming up in January and wife wants to buy me a watch.debating between the omega speedy pro (moonwatch) or the iwc portugieser chrono with the blue dial.i already have a sinn 104 (black dial), sinn 356 (copper), and nomos tangomat (white).thoughts? leaning towards the iwc port since that's been one I've wanted forever. any recs on where to pick up one? is there even much of a price difference between the boutiques in austin/dallas/houston (I'm in Austin)?well, have had the portugieser chrono and love itbut now also itching for a speedy. is the 3861 speedy moonwatch still worth it for ~7k? is it crazy to have two different chronographs?Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

You could always let an AD sleep with your wife. Pics needed though. Seriously, it's a little ridiculous but it is what it is. Could say the same thing about a lot of things these days.

Bourbon, watches, huge markups on cars, etc. I just won't do it. Same reason I'll never have a Porsche GT3.

October 6, 20223 yr Finally got my hands on a Seamaster Spectre LE. It arrived today on international Bond Day (had no idea lol). Selling my other Seamaster 300 in photos. I've owned it about 5 years now. Babied it in my rotation. I would normally sell it before a new buy, but the "too good of a deal sale" on the Spectre popped up and had to pull the trigger.
