My friend is getting promoted to General and invited my wife and I to his promotion ceremony. I’ve been looking to add a new watch to the collection and I figure this is the perfect excuse. Looking for recommendations in the $1,000 range.

Introduce yourself and level-up, it's that simple! You'll get at least 5 likes (oftentimes more!) which will move you to level 2 and on your way to level 3 (these levels give you access to prizes!). What to say in your intro? Share where you're from, your reason for joining, your profession, perhaps your favorite watch or a picture of your entire collection! Whether you're a seasoned watch collector or just starting, have fun engaging with the group.

Today - he's with me. The Waldor Chrono 44 Como for my Blue Monday submission. Can definitely tell we're in the holiday season as all of my coaching calls "postponed" today. Ha! Well, Waldor and I shall fill the time with outgoing calls (cattle prods). I do love the mesh bracelet and light reflection. The caseback is cool, too.

This one doesn’t get worn as much as it should. A great piece. Very thin too!

I’ve seen some posts about real life Superheros recently and there have been various options on the topic. While I am in the camp that first responders, hits close to home as my father was a firefighter, military personnel, teachers, and medical personnel can be in a “hero” category, I’m not one to say “Super”. However for a time, we’ll before my time and probably most of us, there was a man who was board line a “Superhero” based purely on speed as for a time, Chuck Yeager was the fastest man alive. It’s no secret that I have a fancy for the AVI-8 line of watches and when I saw one that honored both Chuck Yeager and the Bell X-1, I had to have it. It symbolizes over coming adversity, pushing yourself to achieve more, and seeing what can be accomplished when differences are put aside and everyone focuses on a goal.
