Why, hello Cortman and hello new CW Trident 8-). You are teasing with that picture and you know it. You got the 40mm, correct? Can’t wait to see it. Haven’t seen many in that size but it should be great.

Tell me more about this one
The dial was made by Vincent over on the BSH forum. He lumed the hands too. The case is an explorer case off of eBay and the movement is an ETA-2824 that I cannibalized from a Calvin Klein watch I picked up from [mention]Potato_With_Arms[/mention].

It was a fun build and love the dial. Definitely scratches the vintage Explorer itch.

Prototype, eh?

Would you mind terribly posting about the Trailseeker preorder in the Group Funded thread?
Since you're closer to the brand, that would make more sense.

It would also be good to have your perspective since you've got it with you.
done!

I concur. Have been eyeballing a Longines Spirit but this looks really interesting at a LOT less $.
Its a winner. I posted in the group funded thread and will do a review by next week.

Espolon Blanco. Had to whip up a honey simple syrup, as we are currently out of agave. Definitely impacted the flavor profile and coloring of the margarita, but still very tasty.

Should also note that I’m up for any tequila suggestions from the crew!

That turned out pretty good, glad I could help 😎
