Re: Show Off Your New Watch
I have to leave the house and get a couple things done but this thing just showed up and I'm jumpy and giddy like my Red Ryder BB gun just arrived. Lume pics coming later. Part of me wishes that new watches didn't make me this happy. [emoji2][emoji847][emoji41]

BOLDR Expedition Eiger with full lume dial. A little on the fence with this as I'm also waiting to see Nodus' Duality on Friday.
This one wears pretty well though.

Re: Show Off Your New Watch
Just got my grail today. I've been wanting it for the longest time. Was at the local AD just wanting to try it on, show my wife, and admire the watches. Sales person offered it at a crazy price for an AD. My wife said do it and I did! This one will be my son's some day...

Man, you guys are making me super jealous with all these shiny new Speedys, GSs and the like. Super happy for everyone. I can live vicariously through the pics.

Re: Show Off Your New Watch
Thanks, MoT. I honestly didn't think I'd get it this soon, but it was too good a deal. Plus, I know that I will never sell it and it will eventually go to my son or daughter. Whoever is inflicted with the same love of watches I have.

Re: Show Off Your New Watch
Neither did I! I've bought way too many watches in this year. We really only went to go check it out, then sales person said I could take it home for a great deal. At that point I looked at my wife and she said let's go have lunch and think it over. So excited... I'm in disbelief that I actually own it.yinzburgher wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2019 10:06 pm Wow!

Re: Show Off Your New Watch
Going into ADs is very risky business. One moment you're just browsing, the next moment you're walking out with a watch. Lucky for me we have very few ADs around meStretch44 wrote:Neither did I!

Re: Show Off Your New Watch
I said it in the other thread, but I will say it again. Congratulations my man!!! So excited for you!! It's awesome to hear that your wife fully supported it too. No wonder you married her!Stretch44 wrote:Just got my grail today. I've been wanting it for the longest time. Was at the local AD just wanting to try it on, show my wife, and admire the watches.

Again, congrats bud. I can't express how excited I am for you. I know how I felt, and expect you are feeling the same. So happy for you man, take good care of that thing.

Re: Show Off Your New Watch
My Portland Costco still has stock of this bad boy:
Wish it had a half link, but otherwise it's a heckuva a deal for $280 after the Costco rebate.

Just my $0.02 USD as always.
