I scooped my desired traits (lug holes, box and papers, solid end links) using Chrono24 for this exact model. Set an e-mail alert for what I thought was a fair price. Pulled the trigger when an American one got posted. It’s now my daily.

I did find one in a used shop beforehand to ensure that I liked how it looked on the wrist

This is what I’d recommend. Also recommend WatchRecon in addition to Chrono24.

Finally saved up and now I have a whole new problem of figuring out how to buy! 🙃😆

Any recs on a shop in the metro atl area where I can try one on? I was recommended crown & caliber, but I called them and they no longer do appointments.

When I was in college I partied pretty hard. Retrospectively I look back and it is a miracle that I made it out of college alive and well with nothing bad happening to me. My kids are still really young but I already find myself worrying that one or more of them will experience the same (binge drinking, etc). What can I do other than role model healthy behaviors, talk to them, etc? I know I am way “worrying ahead” on this but this kept me up last night

For the people who expressed interest in my aventurine dial Zelos, they have another aventurine dial launching just after Xmas. Chronos are not my thing, so I am out, but I think the aventurine one looks amazing. They also have one with a piece of an old RAF Spitfire fuselage for the dial.
