Congratulations! You pulled the trigger! Wear that badboi in good health! That badboi will be getting a lot of wrist time!

(I like it because it's not a dive watch)

If I could get hard, I’d be hard.

You no longer have an excuse not to visit.

That wartch is perfect for not missing connections in Dubai GODAM it.

Very nice!

So, today, me and Mrs. C drove up to Ben Bridge in Tukwila; there are no Rolex or Tudor dealers south of here in WA state. This is the first time we've gone into a mall since Covid.

My intention was to see if they actually had a Tudor Black Bay GMT--I assumed they'd have one on the garbage leather strap or, worser yet, they'd have one on the NATO. I had emailed Ben Bridge in Tukwila to see if they actually had the BB GMT, and they hadn't even bothered to get back to me. So I thought, well, fuck you too; I thought they might have a BB GMT that I could look at on whatever bullshit strap they had, either like it or not like it, and order it from Joma on the bracelet for seven percent off.

Entering the store, there was the big green Rolex display on the the far wall, And, they didn't have even one Rolex in stock. They were completely sold out. All their Rolex display cases were totally empty. Up walks Bill, the salesman. I said I'd like to look at their Tooters. He walked me over to the cases, and they were, almost, totally sold out of Tooters as well.

But there, in the middle of the case, was a BB GMT on the bracelet. I asked to see it. I tried it on, and it felt perfect. So I bought it. I didn't ask for a discount, because I didn't, for once, want to look like a shitheel. Bill informed me that they had got two BB GMTs last week, and this was the second one. After waiting far too long for sizing, I wore the sumbitch out of the store.

I feel happy. Tudor is the new Rolex.

That’s awesome. That’s the way to buy a watch right there. It’s perfect, it’s staring you in the face. Hell, it shouldn’t be there. That’s not the time to dither. Squeeze the trigger and buy the Bentley. That’s the one to start living on the wrist. Well done.

That's a great buy indeed, conj. The movement alone is worth the price of admission.

Many a Watch God raise their ale filled gourds in salute to your fine a$$ pick up!!..they all give it 2 spears up!!..

No coke, pepsi. Well done.

I thought Ben Bridge and/or Jared carried the Rolex/Tudor line in their Tacoma Stores......nope.

But I haven't been to either place in years.

Nice John Couldn’t be happier for you my friend watch looks great

I'm thrilled for you, John, That's a classy, classy piece.

How's the lume?

She's a beauty John, congrats. I wish you were coming to lunch tomorrow. I guess we'll just have to schedule another gtg soon.

I’ve never heard of that joint - is that like a Pigly Wigly?

Well done! That thing is fucking beautiful! I had to look away because these damn tooters… they have a way of getting to you. I meant LOOK at it!

You’re a good dude for not being one of those asspains that wants to wheel-and-deal on an exclusive item typically commanding a premium.

Fine watch John, I've always been a fan of snowflake hands.

As the esteemed Dr. I notes - See it. Like it. Buy it. Well done - and congratulations.

How's the lume?

The lume is indeed very good. It passes the patented Conjurer quick-glance-inside-a-dark-car test. It is also 200m WR, which is good; and, the bezel (bi-directional) is four clicks per hour. so you can easily use it for quick timing tasks.
