I woke up today with the incessant buzzing of my phone notifying me that this group has chosen rally around me a engage with my posts and now I am at Level #9. You call make me feel like I'm some sort of super hero! So I brought out my favorite super hero watch today to celebrate my feeling of invincibility!

Our boy is less than 900 points from the summit. We can get this done today! @Jeffrey Plotka has to be the easiest push ever, he has tons of comments to like. Let's do this!

Not sure how many people are familiar with "Single hand" watches. They seem more complicated to read than they are. Once you get used to it, it is very easy. Today I'm wearing my Meistersinger "Lunascope". It is such a neat watch the Dark night blue dial coupled with the sunset colored moon really jumped out at me. This is a wonderful watch that I don't know if I have ever seen another either on here or in the wild. If you have a meistersinger I'd love to see it! Happy Monday Everyone!!

I was tagged in a post by @Jesse Alonzo as he was given a watch from his mother that was his step fathers who he was very close with. Thank you @Chad Smith for tagging me. As many of you know at this point, I am a sucker for watches, but I'm super obsessed with Heirloom watches. They do NOT have to be expensive to be heirlooms. They just have to have meaning. I am a very fortunate recipient of several heirloom pieces. Whenever I wear 1 I try to think and more importantly tell stories of the person who entrusted the piece to me. I also try to speak of the original owner whether I have met them or not. I have a couple of watches that were my grandfather's (who passed the day after I was born) who left them or gave as gifts to my father or my uncle as an example. Today WOTD - Rolex Date Just champagne Dial with Jubilee bracelet. This watch belonged to my Father in Law. He wasn't just my father in law, he was my best friend, my business partner and the 1 person who could convince me to get into ANY amount of trouble with him (in a good way). He passed away WAY too you and has been gone 23 years. I still miss him everyday. I have been thinking a lot about him lately as we have been making changes in the business and I believe he is still looking out for me and our family from above. So as I am being approached with opportunities it makes me think of him. So this is how I connect with time and remember those who trusted me with an heirloom piece. He stopped wearing this watch long before he passed as he could see the hands on the dial (of which I constantly ribbed him about 😜). But I wear this watch proudly. I also have the watch that we replaced this with as he felt he could see it better. Hope you all have an amazing day! Let's remember those who have gone before us!!

For those of you that know me, I am rarely at a loss for words. Most people think I should use less words 😜. I have to say though that I am utterly speechless and humbled by all of your support and interactions. I have met some wonderful brothers in these groups and while I love the interactions I always want to provide value and be supportive of everyone I interact with. I was never in this to reach level 9 only to be a part of a community of like minded people. I woke up this morning to a literal onslaught of support from you all here and pushing me to Level 9! 🎉 The fact that you all think that I am worthy of such an accomplishment is amazing. I just look at myself as "A Guy". Who loves watches, style & smelling good. someone who just wants to be intentional in everything I do, not for glory, but just to be a good human! I will say though that the feelings that I have right now are amazing. I can't put into words how much I appreciate your support to get me here. I wouldn't be here without you all. I will call out a few (I apologize if I miss anyone) 🙏. @Warren Money @James Milson they gave the rally cry! @G R, @Carl Ronny Birkeland, @Justin Tillery , @Gunny Khan , @Fernando Mendoza @David Denham Jr @Jesse Alonzo @Scott Critchfield You all are a constant reminder that there are good and supportive people in the world! I'm thankful for you all!!
