Have had this one with my buddy in his shop, and she’s running amazing again! So glad to have it back.

Got this piece last year to celebrate my 20 years in the architecture field and 10 years of my architectural license. I felt that getting a piece designed by an alumnus of the Bauhaus school of design itself like Max Bill (and not just inspired by Bauhaus design) made it a much more significant milestone in my career, especially since I’d shifted my role to a more design heavy direction. Here’s to another 20/10 years! 🥂

I finally get to do a Seiko Sunday again! The red-striped shirt is a perfect opportunity to wear the Sportura F1 Honda Racing Team quartz. This one always reminds me of my late brother and the races we used to attend together, it was his watch.

My Sunday tradition of wearing my Seiko Presage Cocktail Time (Martini) SRPB77 to church! I have this on a brown alligator strap (with butterfly clasp) and love the look of it when it reflects all of the wood and stained glass. Perfect to me for the occasion!

Hey ya’ll! I’ll be celebrating my 40th birthday this year (as well as my 10 year wedding anniversary, amongst other milestones this year…2026 is a BIG year for me) and would like to purchase a special piece to commemorate the occasions and would like some input from y’all! Here’s my “wants and needs” list: - Budget: $4,000 - Movement: Mechanical/Automatic - Black dial - Stainless Steel Case - Good quality SS bracelet - Versatile, true GADA where I can dress up or down, something like looks great in t-shirt and jeans as well as for an office job.  - Durable, I will alternate this as my part of my EDC, would like it to last at least my lifetime - Ideally with exhibition case back but not a deal breaker - Because I am an architect and interested in design, would like something simple not too over the top Here are some top contenders I’ve been considering: - Tudor Black Bay 54 or 58: over budget (BB54 is under $4k at JS) - Sinn 556i RS: I would have to purchase site unseen, well under budget - Longines Hydroconquest 39mm: is this too generic? well under budget - Beaubleu La Piece no2 Black: very unique, maybe too unique? Fish scale bracelet not link - NOMOS Glashutte Neomatik 41 Update: no black dial, over budget, no bracelet, but the design appeals to me - Junghans max bill Chronoscope Bauhaus: no bracelet, PVD black case, another one that design appeals to me, under budget What do y'all think? Any feedback or other options would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
