Damn...I'm out for the foreseeable future. I've gained too much weight, and even accounting for that and sizing up on these, they're still unfortunately too tight now. Will try to get some decent progress pics up.

Currently denimless :O

No arcs? (the only disagreement i have w/DB, the arc design)

Wonder how many guys are still active? Denim land seems so barren the past few years, I miss the good old days lol

Ooe is still by far and wide my favorite "brand"; You just don't get the same level of hand crafted love and warmth with the bigger brands. Enjoy my TCB's of course, but they're getting a bit tight and I can't wear any of my older Ooe's due to those same waist issues lol

Funny I’m wanting Ooe’s because I need a break from my TCB contest jeans 

Is there a contest? I need Ooe’s badly and there are none available or for sale in my size anywhere...

Inoue-san wins

Owe you guys more pics...Leather patch is barely hanging on, "cat arcs" are fraying, and I'm now realizing the previous pic is too blown out and not representative of true colors.

You guys....I just read Tsujita-san's post on Facebook and HILARIOUSLY, Fullcount looks to be getting rid of their famous arcs and red tab...

LOL

I'm due for an update, sorry everyone! Aiming to get something this weekend once I have daylight :X

^So good! Really loved the Submersible series shown at SIHH, looking forward to whatever else they release this year as well. Would like a Panerai as my next luxury watch purchase, but don't have plans for a big purchase for a few years yet. Also big fan of Norwegian Wood, brings back some good memories of my years in Japan  

MM300 again...I'm planning to sell, but so far am having trouble doing so as it's been through so much with me. Ultimately it's too large and I should peel the bandaid but what can you do

After all these years, crazy to see how characteristically "Sir Paul T" they look!

Was it the Timeless Luxury in Atlanta?

Not sure if they have an Atlanta location, but it's Texas only as far as I know:

Dan and Anna are a pleasure to work with, I'd vouch for them any day (responsive e-mails outside business hours, quick to the point and treat regulars well)

Button fly yes vis?

Brand new from an AD stateside...Timeless Luxury Watches, they recently had a batch of old stock/original dial GSs’ for sale apparently the last stock straight from the manufacturer. Was mindblown they even had any given it’s been almost two years since the dial change. I’ve somehow come full circle; When I bought the titanium version (SBGA031) it was my grail and I always wished I could get an 029 in steel (the watch shown) as a daily beater. I’ve gone through most all Seiko divers since then and ended up with the 029 after all. Everything else seems moot now so I plan on selling off the others. 

That, and GS is likely to release a new diver at Basel in a few months lol

Exit watch. ("probably" going to sell off most everything else)

General reflection...I bought some Uniqlo EZY Ankle Length pants (read: "mens stretchy pants") for Christmas dinner/celebrations with the family and my word were they a revelation. Sometimes I forget how comfortable not wearing jeans can be, and I'm not sure what to do with myself :/

That said, I will never wear stretchy denim.

A legend...must be Paul T?!

How do you like the Tudor? I could never get the Black Bay case to fit me right, with 6 inch wrists it's difficult in general, but I'm hoping Tudor sees the success of the BB58 and replicates it to the GMT line as well. That, and a blue 58 would be right up my alley...

More custom Ooe's before they had to streamline (#12, #36 # 43 denim)! Lee X WH 40's Cowboys in second place

From the description on the page it looks like the Banner denim to me but I could be wrong

My mistake, seems they're just a renewal of a few diff. fits (900, 1001XX, etc)

Thought I read somewhere on instagram that this is a new "XX" denim fabric?

Anyone have any info on that?

^I was under the impression that Rolex Passion Report has a fairly good track record? Of course a rumor is a rumor only until it's confirmed; Given all of the evidence that Rolex hasn't jumped the gun yet, it's likely we'll have another year supply, or at least maybe they ceased production and are now selling all the remaining stock? Funny, it was the modern Rolex model that made me love Rolex. I should've convinced myself to buy it when I had the chance if for nothing else turning a profit these two years later, but I hate this idea of watches as "investments". Interesting how readily available all of the steel sports models were just last year around these parts though and how quickly that changed.
