Hey guys! Sorry I've been radio silent the last few months. I got military orders to move to North Carolina and we just got here a few days ago. Currently unpacking and getting our home situated. I'm looking forward to posting again. Bye for now!

Going back in time to the days of three-mast ships and Commodores leading expeditions to discover and explore new/faraway lands. Wearing my the Monterey Commodore in caviar black on black leather with butterfly clasp. The clasp is perfect for my ever changing wrist size. Perfect 1st mate to join me as I navigate business meetings today to summarize Q1 and outline Q2 activities. Have a terrific Thursday. Description: This watch is the Commodore from the Monterey Watch Co. Elite Collection. It is an automatic dress watch characterized by its "open heart" dial design, which reveals the internal mechanical movement. Key Specifications - Movement: Miyota 82S5 skeleton automatic. - Case: 40mm diameter made of 316L stainless steel with a mix of brushed and polished finishes. - Dimensions: 11mm case height, 46.5mm lug-to-lug, and a 20mm lug width. - Dial: Features a small seconds sub-dial and the signature open-heart window.

Monterey Week continues with my sharing of the Blacktip Standard DS (Arctic White special edition). This timepiece is a versatile diver-style tool watch featuring several premium specifications: - Dial: A special edition Arctic White dial with applied indices for added depth. - Movement: Powered by a PT5000 high-beat automatic movement, which operates at 28,800 bph for a smooth second-hand sweep. - Case & Bezel: A 40.5mm 316L stainless steel case with a height of 14mm. It features a silver polished stainless steel bezel designed for a bold look. - Durability: Equipped with a domed sapphire crystal and rated for 100M water resistance. - Additional Features: Includes a screw-down crown with the Monterey "M" logo and a brushed 316L stainless steel bracelet. The "DS" in the name represents the design collaboration with brand ambassador Danny S. I love the lume and the classic caseback is always a winner with me. Have a wondrous Wednesday.

I know this is also supposed to be MMM - Monterey March Madness!! According to my friend @Scott Critchfield 😎 After the call with Monterey Watch that @Antonio Centeno and hearing @Tim Hermes Story, I decided to take the plunge into Monterey Watches!! I bought 2 that evening and I have been thrilled ever since! You really can’t beat the value for the money! Today I am showing off my Commodore! The open heartbeat design is very eye catching for me and a lot of people have complimented me on this one in particular. Tim is running a small business as am I so if you are in the market for a great watch at an affordable price, think about supporting Tim and Monterey Watches. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed! Have a great day everyone!!

Last night I dreamt about my Father in Law. He and I were 2 peas in a pod! We were in business together for 15 yrs before he passed, and he's been gone for almost 25yrs and I think about him often. When he is on my mind I have to take "Him" out and smile and remember him. This is one of 2 watches he left me. You all know I'm a VERY nostalgic guy who love heirloom watches and the stories they represent! This is one of those watches that reminds me of him. We drove around the country building this business. We NEVER turned the radio on we just talked and drove and laughed! We were SO stupid about a lot of things and we always said if anyone "bugged" our truck they would lock us up and throw away the key!! 😂 We were 2 silly guys just working hard and playing hard but we did it together! Watches for me are about how I interact with time!! And telling a story about him is how I am choosing my interaction today. Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone!!
