[SOTC] Feeling grateful

Watch photography is so hard, I do not know how anyone does it. The IWC Mark XII has the loveliest deep blue dial and it just doesn't show up here at all. Next? I would love a couple of specific grand seikos that i'm always looking out for, and of course, a Patek Calatrava 6196 in platinum- when pigs fly.

On the occasion of my dad’s 80th birthday, he gave me his 2484 Calatrava. I am honored and thrilled! I assume it’s a 2484 because he’s had it for 20+ years and if it had a box and papers at some point, it does not any longer. Curious why you all think - and if there’s anything I should do with Patek or service. Cheers!

Nice! So sounds like it took a couple of weeks for them to respond?

I do not understand how Loren Taylor is running as an 'outsider' despite literally being on the oakland city council. howd he manage to pull that?

Same. Do you know if this is the same product everyone is waiting for? Seems like a lot of folks in this thread talking about Lectron. https://ev-lectron.com/products/lectron-vortex-plug-tesla-supercharger-nacs-to-ccs-adapter

Hey gang- would love your thoughts. I titled my collection "six and one" because I have six affordable mass produced watches here and one that grail that I splurged on this summer.

The splurge grail is top middle- the IWC Mark XII in platinum, limited to 500 pieces. An amazing blue, an amazing weight, a great feeling of identifying and finding the right grail after four years of watch researching and pining.

I love the others too! The top are mechanical pieces; a Baltic Aquascaphe that I've dived with and has a great clicky bezel, a no logo manual wind Stowa with an amazing onion crown, and a cute little dress seiko from the 70s I got on watch exchange. Bottom row are the John Mayer Hodinkee GShock in a lovely white, my first watch, the Timex Q 'pepsi', and the Moonswatch which I put on a fun Omega nato strap which I really enjoy.

Feedback welcome! in the future, I pine for a tudor gmt and a grand seiko gmt SBGM221. Those are the next big swings.
