Relying on the seldom used pet compliance today with the NTH/BSH Carolina. This watch is just so good.

Field Watch Friday and beverage compliance. For now. . .

There will surely be more beverages and possibly a watch change or 3.

I wouldn’t worry about compliance with that beauty either! Drool worthy every time.

Stretch motivated me to wear this one. I am throwing in some carnivore compliance with bacon for dinner. You heard that right. Bacon for dinner. I don't need no sides!

I waited until the family went to bed to post today. The things I do in the name of "compliance ;) "

My father is the least materialistic person I have probably even known. He has had zero interest in watches since he started carrying a cell phone. Well, a few weeks ago he gave me a Seiko that he wondered if he purchased in Vietnam while serving in the war. It is quartz, so I don't think so based on when he was there. I can't get the case back off to change the battery. Last Saturday he gave be a bag full of watches, one of which belonged to his neighbor who passed away. This watch, which I am calling Seiko #2, seemed to have been worn until the jubilee bracelet came apart. My dad had no idea that it looks quite like a Rolex Day-Date...he just thought it was a good looking watch.

He asked me how Seikos are currently regarded then goes on to say that while in Vietnam many Vietnamese would grab the wrist of US soldiers who wore Seikos, just to get a look...and that they had a genuine appreciation for the brand. That is all he ever needed to know about watches.

I wore this all day and enjoyed it. It's nice to know that I have a couple of watches that my father wore. This crystal is in pretty bad shape, but other than that I think it actually looks better than the picture shows.

That watch looks great and the story makes it even better! My dad isn't into watches at all, his hobby is SASE, which is cool. For those that aren't familiar, he dresses up as a cowboy and does shooting contests. My grandfather was way into clocks, so I guess I got my watch thing from him.

Awesome story and an awesome watch to go with it! I love these kind of things, so thanks for sharing! As far as the crystal goes, some polywatch will help clear it up, or in a pinch, some toothpaste might do the trick. Super cool looking Seiko day/date though.
