This one just landed from OC Watch Company and I'm glad to have another Pam in the rotation. I put it on my favorite 24mm strap, a well worn SNPR Bridle leather that's super comfortable and not overly thick.

So my dad was in a car accident on Christmas Eve (in France), unexpected icy roads as he was headed in to work at 6am (and yes he is supposed to be retired). His car took off (55mph) of some bump on the side of the road and flew over hedges and landed head first down in the ravine off the side of the road, flipped over twice (forward) and then ended up on its side (driver side).
He drives daily that ridiculously small Suzuki Jimmy that somehow was much tougher than everyone expected and saved his life apparently. They found 10 broken ribs including three seriously messed up on the back side and a broken vertebrae, broken clavicle plus hematoma to the head and cuts on his face, shoulder and legs and other miscellaneous things.
I hate being so fast but God somehow protected him as it could have been much worse. Id appreciate any prayers if you are so inclined for a speedy recovery. He is not very patient :) and has never been able to seat still even on vacation so it'll be hard for him to take it easy while his body recovers. :)
Thanks for reading

So sorry to hear that Brice, but glad it sounds like he's going to be okay. 10 broken ribs and a cracked vertebrae and clavicle must hurt like an SOB.
