This is terrific. Love the dial! Enjoy!!!

For me it’s my Apollo 8 Speedy. I loved it when it came out and remembered watching the trip around the moon with my parents. After my dad passed, I saw the “we’ll see you on the other side” engraving on the back, I found a second meaning in that watch for me and bought it.

Probably this one, #8 of the original 100, mainly because it’s been owned by about a 3rd of DWC over the years—including by me, two separate times. :lol:

It’s also an “Irish Wristwatch,” which is two words that are legendary for being hard to say 3X fast…

My Dornbluth 99.1 does the trick... Got it for my son when he was born in February of '13, and Dirk's correspondence throughout the entire process made it an actual birth month watch.

You want to help ensure a watch never leaves the stable? Do the aforementioned and have the movement engraved with your "surname 2013"

You haven't seen fire blued indices and hands like these... like looking at blue sapphires.

Oh man that just flashed me back to when I worked in major sales at costco in 2005 in Everett (closest store to Boston)
That's my local Costco! They usually have something cool in the display case. Right now, it's a Glycine Combat. Haven't seen anything high-end in a long time, though.
They have Glycine Combats at my Costco here in Colorado- they’ve had the same ones since this summer.

Just saw my favorite black with the faux lume in my local Costco. Just got the membership. For $239 I thought about buying it.

I don't know how I missed this topic here Blaine and everyone ! :grin: :lol:

It's just terrific and honestly, and even though every watch brings a smile to my face,
I wanted to try and actually pick just one for you. ;) And it ended up being this wacky
Ruhla here. :) It just is so fun as well as funky with it's style and everything.

Thanks Tom! I have commented on this one before…really beautiful. I believe too, at the time, I also commented on your incredible strap combinations on all your watches. Enjoy and thanks for sharingImage
