Christopher Ward showroom
So last night, I had the chance to attend a private event held at the Christopher Ward Showroom in Falls Church VA. Their watches do not disappoint. I did not leave with a new watch, but it was a close call.

"The Watch That Started Your Journey" Challenge (Winner gets a gift!)
They say a man never forgets his first real watch. It’s rarely about the price tag or the "prestige" - it’s about the feeling of weight on your wrist and the realization that you were finally keeping track of your own time. It’s the piece that transformed a watch from a tool into a milestone. Starting today, we’re kicking off a 7-day challenge to uncover the watches that sparked your "obsession". The Challenge: "The Watch That Started Your Journey" We want to hear about the timepiece that started it all. This isn’t necessarily your most expensive "grail" watch; it’s the one that carries the most history or story. Was it your first paycheck purchase? A gift for graduation? A family heirloom passed down by your father? Or maybe the rugged piece you saved for months to buy because it represented the man you were becoming. "What was the first watch that made you feel like the day didn't truly start until it was on your wrist?" HOW TO JOIN (Super easy) Drop your story in the comments under this post. Use this quick format: 1. The Watch: Brand and model (if you know it). 2. The Origin: How did it find its way to your wrist? (A milestone, a gift, or a hard-earned reward?) 3. The Meaning: What did that watch represent to you at the time? 4. The Legacy: Does it still have a place in your collection today? 5. The Visual (Optional): We all want to see the watch haha. If you still have it, drop a wrist shot or a photo in the comments with your story. HOW THE CHALLENGE WORKS - Challenge will run for 7 days (starting today until Jan 23rd) - Post your story in the comments of this post (not separate posts) - Our team will personally pick the winner at the end - Winner will be announced next week Friday Jan 23rd - Winner gets a surprise gift from Antonio 🎁 WINNERS WILL BE PICKED BASED ON - Detail and quality of your comment (70%) - Thumbs up from others (5%) - Paid members will have plus points. RULES & LIMITATIONS - Must be Level 5 or higher to win - Free shipping (USA only; forwarding addresses accepted)

1) The Watch: Brand and model Cartier Pasha Grill Ref. W31059H3 2) The Origin: How did it find its way to your wrist? While I was dating my wife, she took me to visit her family for the first time. Her father was deeply interested in watch collecting at the time, and he genuinely enjoyed sharing that passion with me. He walked me through his collection—explaining each watch, its complications, and why he chose it. I suppose he noticed how engaged I was, and perhaps he also saw how seriously I took my relationship with his daughter. Before the end of my stay, he surprised me by presenting me with this Cartier Pasha. It was completely unexpected and incredibly meaningful. 3) The Meaning: What did that watch represent to you at the time? At the time, I didn’t know much about watches beyond what my future father-in-law had just taught me. I knew the Cartier name and understood it was something special, but my appreciation was still very much in its infancy. To me, the watch represented acceptance and trust. I wore it every day for the next two years, until we got engaged. After that, I switched to wearing the Zenith my fiancée gave me for our engagement. 4) The Legacy: Does it still have a place in your collection today? Yes, I still have the watch to this day, even though it doesn’t get the wrist time it once did. In 2020, Cartier re-released the Pasha line and offered all original Pasha owners a complimentary service. I sent mine in, and it came back looking brand new. While it may not be my most worn piece anymore, it remains one of the most important watches in my collection. 5) The Visual (Optional) Here is a current wrist shot, along with a photo of us back in 2001—not long after I received the watch. 6) Extra Section!! Cultural Significance of this watch Beyond its personal significance to me, the Cartier Pasha has had a notable presence in popular culture. The Pasha Grill is famously worn by LL Cool J on the cover of his GOAT album, and it also appears on the wrist of in The Sopranos.

I think I found my next watch!! Better Start Saving!!
While I am a huge Omega fan. And continued to get called out by my "Friends" @Brett Sutton , @Justin Tillery @Chad Smith @Warren Money @David Denham Jr whenever they have a new release. I do have other brands that I collect and admire and some that have been "on my list" for a while. RGM is one of those brands. Made here in the USA I've been eyeing the RGM brand for a long time, but they have been out of reach for me with the options that I wanted, while still looking to add to my collection with others watches. This one came into my feed today and BOOM got smacked right in the face!! This is one that is hard to ignore. I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts. https://youtu.be/dRzTBmWrHro?si=WtSBwgWXJO5fDn66

@Jeffrey Plotka Yes I've seen them at the WatchTime show, and met RGM there. I also did a tour of the NAWCC Museum hosted by RGM. Two things he likes to reference in his watches: 1) American Railroad Watch Heritage 2) Guilloche dials (he has a rose engine in his shop) In the hand his watches feel really high quality, but have a handmade feel instead of a factory made feel. It's hard to describe. His most affordable watches use ETA movements. He also has some watches that he uses refurbished pocket watch movements. Then he has watches with his in-house movement. This new watch with Teddy appears to be a new addition as it's using a micro-rotor movement I haven't seen in his watches before. Looks like he sourced the movement from Switzerland and then is doing the final finishing and assembly in his shop.

Well it didn't take long, even at the $14K price. On Teddys' website: "Limited edition of 25 pieces. This watch is sold out and is no longer available." Hopefully RGM will make a variation of this model available as a regular production model.

A habit you strengthened, a distraction you cut, or a standard you raised 2️⃣ This Year’s Focus What’s 1–2 goals you’re deliberately committing to this year - not wishing for, but committing to? Could be... Sharpening your personal style as a form of self-respect Building a tighter, more intentional fragrance rotation Becoming more educated, patient, and disciplined with watches Showing up with more consistency - physically, mentally, and professionally Raising your standards in how you present yourself to the world Drop your wins and your focus below. Let’s build on what worked. And cut what didn’t!

1) Been killing it at work, was selected to be the technical lead on two major projects, and both projects were very successful. 2) Continue to work on my personal style. I work remote and only go into to the office about once per month, when I do go in I try to look very sharp and make a positive impression at the office. I got a 1960's briefcase at a flea market for $1 dollar, and this accessory really completes the look. 3) Rewarded myself with a new limited edition watch, and got watch #1 of the numbered limited edition.

@Antonio Cent Hopefully work continues well. I also have been trying hard to save / invest to have enough be financially independent. I'm getting close to that number, and after that work becomes optional, and that will mean I'm working because I WANT to not NEED to. I have booked a cruise with my wife for this summer, for a deserved vacation. Lastly, with watches, I'll probably add another watch sometime this year (I typically limit to 1 maybe 2 per year).
