I've so enjoyed the Hawaiian use of that gesture that I wished we could bring it back with us to Boston. But you can't do that sort of thing on your own.

I'd take a 36mm Explorer over a Submariner any day. In fact I did!

This is the first I've seen of this and I love it. I'd put a roof rack on it and never drive anything else!

You know me, Mr. Consistent Wrists

I know there exist some clever microadjustment systems that don't make the clasp bigger, thicker, and less elegant than it would have been otherwise, but I've never handled one. Literally every microadjustable clasp I have tried did more harm than good to the wearability of the watch.

I joke about all kinds of watch collecting regrets but the truth is that I never feel any real regret at watches that I overpaid for, or that I missed out on, and when I've regretted a purchase, that's fixed when I sell or trade it away. The only real regrets are ones I owned and gave up too easily.

Which may cause me trouble in London! But truly for me for *most* watches, the case shape seems visually clearer with a non-integrated strap. I like angles and facets and curves.

As much as I love this watch as it was intended, I think it gets even cooler when I see people putting regular straps on it.
