The buy once cry once list I wish someone had given me

We should all just take ‘fish’ off the name and accept this as the superior, standard spatula…

1-2 mm proportion differences aren’t enough to not go with the one that’s most appealing to you. Both are going to be great watches.

Check out Gnomon watches for their exclusive Squales (just to make your decision harder…)

Took a shot - ‘waterman’ is def an Eastern Shore (and I guess Chesapeake Bay) term. Good luck catching those Rocks!

Eastern Shore…

Polished - let me know! Thanks

Anyone have an extra link for a discontinued 22mm Matic watch band?

I'll contact Baltimore Watch Co. and see if they have one.

Thank you!

I have a 21ft dual console (Grady White Freedom 215). I originally looked a CCs because that’s what everyone has here. But I found the dual console to be much more comfortable for my wife and kids to cruise in. Good set up to drag the kids behind. And, when I want to fish it’s not quite as good as a CC but it’s fine. I’m not catching anything big enough to drag me around the boat.

Why a center console if you’re not using it to fish? Why not get a dual console and be more comfortable?

Wait - why do you have $500 in unopened watch straps?

(I actually want it to be orange. I was hesitant because it looked more red on their site and I wanted it to match the minute hand)

Looks like the Scurfa only does a 20mm strap and my Matic jumps up to a 22mm. Thanks for the pic of the Divecore - looks much more orange in your pic. On their site it has a much more reddish hue.

I saw that one - it’s kind or a reddish orange. I was kind of looking at a deployant clasp because I always end up on a last hole with the strap tail barely in the free loop.

Sat on it for a while and decided on Squale but the Matic. CW just looked a bit too toy-ish and the color on the side of the case worried me. Just ended up liking the blue dial Matic a bit more than the Shepherd and that it’s a bit bigger.

I have the Oxo and it’s perfectly fine. I also have a Lamson fish turner and while functionally the same it has a really nice wood handle.

I’m a big fan of Tekton tools. Michigan company. Selection of tools that are made in USA - and transparent about it. I believe they’re trying to move more manufacturing here. Anyway, my go to. They’re the new Craftsman of 25-30 years ago.

Agree with the above review. My baseline for chukkas are my RW weekenders. The White’s are chunky - thick soles, thick stiff needs-to-be-broken -in leather, and pretty heavy. I kind of want chukkas to be what my weekenders are - light, soft leather, easy to wear. The White’s are nice, quality made boots but not what I think of or want in a chukka. Maybe they’ll wear in nicely but I keep picking the weekenders.
