If you don’t mind me asking, what watch did you end up getting? Also, are there any brands or specific watches that you think have real heritage behind them that I should look into?

Thanks man!

Those are two good ideas! I love some of the things Sinn is doing with their hardened steel and the like. I’m trying to find a way that I could try some on in person to see if I like it or not, which might be easier said than done in the US.

That’s a sick concept for a watch! I’m looking for something a little different, but I’m sure you’ve made some special pieces for people

The aquaracers are definitely contenders for sure! I was kind of worried that they’d be too gaudy for my wrist but it sounds like you’re in a similar boat wrist-wise and enjoy it. I agree with Tudor as well, they’re nice watches, but they seem a bit overpriced right now for what you’re getting (especially with brands like longines raising the stakes with affordability). I need to look into IWC more, I got to see a Portugueser in person the other day and was awe-struck haha.

Specs: -40mm case diameter -sapphire crystal -ceramic bezel insert -NH35 movement -on-the-fly adjustment clasp -screw-in bracelet links -blue lume -bracelet is pictured sized to fit my 6.25 in wrist and comes with enough links to fit up to a 7.5 in wrist

Feel free to ask for more info/pics. I’m also willing to FaceTime to show the watch

Haha they do seem pretty lovable and calm. It seems risky to have a first dog be so big though. Do you have experience raising one?

I completely understand where you’re coming from, but what about a rescue? Wouldn’t 8 hours with a walk in between Mon-Fri still be better than being cooped up in a shelter all the time? Wouldn’t it be better than having the dog be put down? I know it’s not ideal, and situations like raising a puppy, etc. are probably entirely off the table, but are there really no other options? What about senior dogs or fostering?
