Great update! Totally worth the wait of an extra day ;) It was so good reading your thoughts about how to bring more people to enjoy music and connect with it. As a musician it hit very close to home - and you were dead right in everything you wrote! Thank you.

IMHO I think IWC was the winner of SIHH this year, the Big Pilot 43 (Medium Pilot?) is *chef's kiss*.

I am also quite partial to the recent trends in menswear too because I honestly don't know the last time I wanted to wear a suit. I do still want a gray flannel suit sometime to finish off my "3 suit collection" but I don't see it happening any time soon. Right now I would much rather get fitted pants or a jacket as that's pretty much all I'm wearing these days even when I dress up.

Very cool! You like those big watches, huh?!

Haha kind of sort of, I do prefer smaller dress watches but with my recent re-interest in casual wear, larger sports watches have been gaining my attention!

I feel like I remember you mentioning a few larger watches in the past. How big is your wrist?

I think I did recently, when I suggested reviving the "How to Style Watches" series!

As for my wrist size, IIRC it's 7 1/2 inches. If you don't mind more wristshots (as inaccurate representations as they may be),

https://imgur.com/PS6Buzh This one's a Swatch Automatic, 37.4mm, I think this is probably the best size.

New nautilus in green costs ~$94k at retail, and it's probably going up from there immediately. I'll stick to micro-brands for now :P
