I decided to bust out the calipers to see exactly what I’m strapping to my wrist when I bust out Big Red. It turns out, it’s not so much a "timepiece" as it is a tactical anchor. The Dimensions: Clocking in at 45.9mm wide, it is basically a dinner plate for your arm. It is 15.9mm thick—which is convenient, because you could effectively use it as a framing hammer in an emergency. The 55mm lug-to-lug is the real kicker; it’s less of a watch and more of a bridge spanning the entire width of my wrist. The "Feel": Wearing this thing is a legitimate fitness routine. I’ve noticed my left arm is significantly stronger than my right arm after every wear. It provides its own inbuilt gravitation, I mean I am pretty sure small pieces of debris orbit my wrist when I walk down the street. The Verdict: It tells the time, sure. But it also serves as a blunt instrument, a portable bicep curl station, a small planetoid , and a highly effective deterrent for anyone who tries to shake my hand too firmly. If you ever need to survive a shipwreck, you won't need to worry about being a "diver"—this thing will just sink you directly to the bottom.

Traveling for work today. So I needed the appropriate support staff on this long day of flying!!

Dan Henry 1937 dress chronograph

This one has been needing a new capacitor for awhile. I was going to replace it myself but I couldn’t pry the back off. I took it to 3 watch repair places and they couldn’t get it off either. I finally found one that could and did the swap for $60 which was I think was reasonable.

Changing it up today with the Homega on Horween
