Hey everyone, I just wanted to say a proper goodbye before the group turns paid. Watches have always meant a lot to me—they’re a muted accessory that can add so much to your presence, and honestly, they’ve always been the only accessory I really wear. Even though I haven’t had the chance to collect high-end pieces yet and mostly own simpler quartz watches, my love for watches has never faded. Someday, I hope to have watches that speak for me, my achievements, and my style—but maybe that’s not now. I’m especially sad I wasn’t more active in this group, and now with it turning paid and my situation here in Egypt, I won’t be able to continue as a member. It makes leaving even harder. I’ll still keep learning about watches, and one day I hope to own luxury pieces. I’ll also remain active on LinkedIn and Instagram, so if anyone wants to stay in touch, I’d love that. Thank you all for the great conversations and inspiration. ❤️

Another gift from my wife. A Bulova Futuro in black IP stainless steel with three diamonds on black dial, three-hand date feature, metalized edge-to-edge curved crystal, screw-back case, black IP stainless steel bracelet with deployment closure.

For Christmas this year I got the Mission to the Moonphase New Moon MoonSwatch. I love the little Snoopy details to hold me over until I can afford one of the Silver Snoopy Omegas. The only part I wasn’t a fan of was the original strap, so I put it on a black rally strap, which looks great to me.

It's difficult to resist the blue on this bezel. I had a good look at this watch today and I forget just how well put together it is.
