It finally arrived. First impressions, I really like it, although 40mm is my smallest case size to date. It looks small to me on my wrist, but I know that it's actually well-sized.

I'm done buying watches for a while. My next goal is a blue DJ41 before my 40th birthday in 2024.

Agree. If anything I'd say the opposite.

TheOC16,

Your post a couple weeks ago resonated with me. I thought about what you said every day. And I got something that I've wanted my entire life, something I always adored before I even got into watches. I'm going to cherish this forever. And FTAC2011, thanks for the help and guidance.

More pictures to come!

Can't tell what Framber has on but Yordan appears to be rocking a Daytona.

Absolutely not. Blanton's is a good to very good bourbon. Just like your watch is good to very good. It's just the grail to the bourbon newbs.

FWIW, that watch is way better than blantons…aka a bourbon that used to be middle of the road and caught fire when bourbon became trendy because it tasted pretty good and had a cool bottle. It's a beauty. Wear it proudly!

I don't know, but those of us who bought the Seiko "game day" watches must equate to Kentucky Deluxe in a plastic bottle.

WT101 is hands down the best bottle that you will ways find on the shelf and if someone says they like bourbon but turns their nose up to wt101, they don't actually like bourbon.

Lol, I'm in the same boat. My CW Trident 300 should be here today. I've been watching the DHL tracking like a hawk, so I finally just signed up for text alerts when it's out for delivery.

Happy New Watch Day! What are you getting?

Edit: Finally made it to Austin...


Happy New Watch day to you too!

Love your CW. I picked up an Omega.

Just getting back to this. I love that SMP. If I was more flush with cash, I would definitely have gone for the white dial Seamaster over this CW.

Eh, I think it looks really good in a mirror. Phone cameras (especially in portrait mode) have a tendency to make watches look larger than they actually do in real life.
