I seriously doubt I’ll ever have a manual winder. But if I did, this would be a helluva piece to have.

Do you wear a watch?

I have that same ring. It's been sitting there for two months today and will sit there for the rest of eternity.
That said, bought myself a Breitling SuperOcean for Chriatmas.
Not sure if it counts but after like 27 years of not wearing a watch I finally broke down and bought a Galaxy Watch 3 LTE. I really like that I can get calls and messages without having my phone and the fitness tracking is pretty awesome as it yells at me when I have been sitting too long so I get up and move around seeing as I sit at a computer all day.

Do you guys not wear your rings because you're afraid of losing them?

You can just say you got divorced or whatever. My dad didn't wear a wedding ring when my mom was alive and now he does with his second wife for whatever reason.
Ah man Rob...this is the next watch for me. I didn't want anything more than I have now until you tempted...that thing is awesome!
Depends. I have taken it off when there is a chance what I am doing will cause it to either get messed up or caught on something and injure my finger.
I used to wear it all the time until it got caught on something and that something yanked so hard on it that it deformed the ring and left broken skin and bruising on my finger. It was not a fun day.

I love a good gimmick. And that “animated” caseback is a helluva gimmick. Almost makes one want to wear it inside out!

Exhibition case back is the best, I can stare at one for most of a boring meeting.

So slow it's criminal
I never wanted to wear one, but did it for a while to make her happy
For you mechanical watch connoisseurs there is a limited edition Ford GT40 watch for sale at Barret Jackson. It just so happens to come with a matching car and trailer if you are interested in it.

Pretty much anything I have that's shiny was purchased by my wife. The TAG is an exception. I've purchased two watches since she passed, and neither are bling. I wore my wedding ring for a few years, but it isn't really a good match for my line of work, so I kept it in the watch box.
And seriously, all of my shiny stuff, even the stainless 1911. I ordered it at the gun shop, then one day they called me ha it was in, I walked in, they handed me the paperwork. I went to pay, the lady says "No charge today."

It's got such a solid movement, I'm pretty stoked. I'll have it on my wrist Christmas day.
I won't have my Sea Dweller back from RSD until early February, they're replacing the movement under warranty.
