Congrats John! Having a hard time holding back myself.

Yeah, have one sitting in a cart myself. Trying to avoid pulling the trigger…

If not for 2 unexpected U.S. trips and that I just learned I need to replace our driveway, I would have already. Maple trees are a pest….destroyed our driveway and sewage line.

Ouch [mention]watchpalooza[/mention] i feel your pain, our water supply pipe to the house ruptured over the new year, had to replace 30m of pipe, not a cheap operation!!

Ooooo, that sucks. Yeah we also just found out that we must replace all the toilets im the house…they are old Toto’s and apparently do not create enough “push” threw the plumbing. This was good news, as we thought we needed to redo piping to bring up to code…turns out not. Still, $1600 in toilets + driveway + tree removal + repairs and everything needed to prepare for re-renting the house + leasing agent fees + travel expenses + unexpected trip for my mom’s passing = nonivada4me. But I very much look forward to seeing photos and living vicariously through those who do pick one up!

Congrats! Excited to see real life pics.

New G-SHOCK GBD-200

I've been wanting a no-nonsense black G-SHOCK for a while (to complement my pink and blue one). To me, these new ones with MIP screens look great! Barely talked myself out of getting all 3. Black and yellow incoming. Ended up passing on the blue, might regret it later...

Pretty excited to get my first one of these at the end of the week. I guess it will serve as my reward for completing the watch fast.

I think you'll be really happy. If these had another name on the dial they'd be $300+.

Masters in Time just restocked the EU-only non-limited Seiko SPB197 (the “mountain glacier” Alpinist), which I’ve been waiting on for a few months. Just pulled the trigger. This will be my first Alpinist!

Funny you mentioned MiT, that's where I ordered my G-shocks from. Got tracking up until it left Germany, but nothing since... [emoji1696]

Interesting. Mine just departed Germany this morning and is supposed to be delivered on Wednesday. Let’s see if tracking gets updated between now and then.

New project watch…

Didn’t buy a whole lot for awhile and then 5 at once……

Seizenn Diver - black/blue bezel, 1 blue dial, 1 black dial, both on bracelet + a black 6105 homage. Used “man on time” so $222 for 2 and the other off AliExpress for $123.

Phoibos Titanium Apollo - 1 grey dial, 1 white dial. $340 apiece.

Nice set all together. Like the dials of the Phoibos, something different.
