Howdy folks! I’ve found that my wearing rotation consists of these three watches. I’m toying with adding a 4th to the rotation, particularly since the Mrs has claimed my vintage De Ville on BOR. What do you have and what do you love that would round t…

Hi everyone,
This is not an inquiry about anything political- however the past month or so has brought many unexpected contingencies in sight, and since this is one of the most mature and rational communities I’m aware of on the web, I’m very curious …
