That's a nice strap mm. Check out Wolverine sneaks. They say they are made of "Horween Rookery leather from Chicago, Illinois" and made in USA.

I should actually go with the IWC Top Gun, it’s the most sinister watch I have.

rw16610 isn't it time we saw some more shots of that gorgeous Omega PO Chronograph!? carl here you go! Some bonus content as well. The lighting and my camera phone are terrible but behold: Just for you, Breitling content! So chances are I'll get a Chronomat 44 and still get the Audemars Piguet. You guys are KILLING me with the Breitling content. Time will tell. I also plan to clear off my car loan at the end of this month. Got it last Feburary and it's a 5-year term so paying it off in 2 years is good, I guess. Haven't been wearing my watches lately, but certainly admiring them! Can't wait to be able to wear them out on adventures once things begin to re-open after the 6 week lockdown in Ontario.

Nice rw16610 ! I know what you mean about can't wait to wear them again. Like Chip and others, wear has been sporadic in the WFH situation. I have my first business trip in 14 months coming up next week - albeit to Omaha, NE with lots of meetings, so no time to play, but it will be GREAT to see colleagues and clients face-to-face again! Now, which watch to choose - probably the BLNR...

Glad you're getting to go somewhere outside of your state, Baco Noir ! Yeah, working from home it just made no sense. I'm sort of on my own schedule in some ways. The trip from the kitchen, to the shower, to my next meeting hardly has me wondering what time it is. Even the Citizens have been sitting, but that's fine.

One of my meetings is with a some folks I am planning a 3 day conference with for October. We had a planning call today and were discussing the theme of the Wednesday night get together. I said most of us probably can't fit in out business clothes right now so why not a "COVID Business Casual theme" - business on the top, jammies and slippers on the bottom. People laughed but also thought it might be a good way for everyone at the meeting to have some bonding moments too. We're actually going to discuss it more seriously at the June meeting!

That's an excellent idea, Baco Noir ! Can't remember the last time I wore dress pants or long pants at all for a meeting. Thankfully a lot of mine have been audio only but for cameras on it's typically just a polo shirt. This more laid back culture is welcome and a lot like when I remember during my days working for a well known tech company. With more people working from home / remotely, it should also help with a multitude of other issues. At this point I'll settle for outdoor gatherings of two or more people being legal again and go from there. Exciting things (slowly but surely) happening! The happiest day will be when I can start lane swimming again. With my vaccine dose tomorrow I'm a step closer. Albeit still a great distance ahead, I'm closer, nonetheless.

rw16610 that's what I like to see! Love the SuperOcean chronograph, with stainless steel bezel and rider tabs. And the screw down push pieces! I am so glad Breitling, in spite of all the changes, has kept the stainless steel bezel with rider tabs, and also the winged logo, in the Avenger series. I really wish they still had the Avenger Bandit chrono in all brushed titanium. Baco Noir I seem to remember a pic where you looked particularly good in a sports jacket and pajama bottoms!
