Fun post, JVL.

Flash definitely sold that Sinn on Craigslist.

Do a limited-edition watch drop of the Islander Bulwark Special Edition for Bulwark+ members and/or for charity!

Not possible, I'm afraid. Certainly not at the cost that any reasonable person would be willing to pay ; )

Great rundown JVL! Raising 8 kids puts me more in the Casio Duro price range. But dive watches are great.

Check out this fella’s web site https://ciechanow.ski/mechanical-watch/ He explains really well how a mechanical watch works.

Just stumbled across this. I’m curious who I need to kidnapp/drug/bribe to get one of those Bulwark divers. It’s an amazingly beautiful watch.

Awesome collection. I thought you had an Orient Mako, though.

I had an Orient Pro Saturation that went to live with a buddy.

No fights. Love the Sinn and the Doxa. And, based on your recommendation, I added an Isander with the crown at 4:00. Love it , especially at the price.

Ok. So I won the over at 4. I never imagined I could have taken over 6 and won.

Ed's 5 was a sucker's line. The Vegas spread should have been 6.5.

Especially since this is missing two divers that I've given away over the years.

At least I didn’t take the under!
