    I've been playing around with a Dakota pocket watch lately. Not a lot to report on at this moment, but I do have one.

    Unless your a righty doing pushups :)
    I love the fact that the 9:00 crown doesn't dig into my wrist like my other 3:00 crowns do.

    I wear a watch when I sleep
    I don't really ever not wear a watch come to think of it.

    I take mine off when I sleep. A Breitling smacking the wifee in the face at night would get me in serious trouble!!

    I know, I've been busy with things not online the past couple of years. I get vertigo from information overload and need to keep unplugging... All good here though!

    I need a bigger winder. My 6 place Orbita is full so I need to keep one on me and one sitting motionless on the shelf. Maybe I should start a gofundme for a second Orbita. First world problems fo sure

    Glad all is well. If watch concerns are the worst thing, then cannot complain.

    Ever look in to Breitling? Love mine. Indestructible, it seems.

    I Breitlings very much and appreciate them. My watch style tends to gravitate towards expensive yet little recognized brands. I have 4 Sinns now and my co-workers have no idea they are anything special.

    Many people do not know Breitling either. Common man thinks Rolex or Tag. My watch snob buddy thinks Panerai.

    Maratac has a new medium size (40mm case diameter) automatic that looks interesting. I never thought I'd shop for another watch when I got their large (46mm case diameter) Pilot ARC, but with a hacking Seiko movement and a clean divers watch design I'm tempted... especially at $299. ($284 with a discount code and free shipping. :))

    I wear a Seiko model 5 in green...21 jewel movement and keeps excellent time.
    Its a nice inexpensive automatic watch that is luminous and is water resistant.
    ( as in no swimming , but you can be out in the rain with it... )
    I did change out the band to a "NATO / ZULU " style watch band...they can come in many colors or patterns....
