Watcha wearing today, the Watch thread

must be popular they are all sold out.

 

I haven’t been on the forum in a while. Good to be back. Swapped the bracelet for an Everest rubber strap on the Explorer II during most of the summer.

 

The Timex Expedition was the first watch I fell in love with as a kid. Begged my folks for it for what seemed like forever. I believe it was a birthday present. I don’t know where that watch went years ago, but I found one in good shape on eBay recently from across the pond, and I bought it.

 

My dad rarely spent money on himself, but he has always loved watches, knives, guns, and pens (amongst other things). It wasn’t until I was almost graduating high school that he bought himself a Swiss timepiece. This was a big deal because it was an expensive purchase that wasn’t a “need”, but I’m so glad he did. It was a blue Seamaster. He still has it. So I had to be a copy cat and get a blue Seamaster. I figure if it makes me a little more like him, it’s a justified purchase.
