    New Formex Stratos completely surprised me as well. Probably my favorite watch of either event. I didn't get good photos but it's incredible in person.

    SēL Instrument Watches. Just incredible engineering. Hopefully if you went to Hours + Minutes, you stopped by and talked with Andrew. Not sure there a better engineered watch out there. Seriously, badass. The Omni Diver MkII is pretty giant at 46mm, but is tested to 10,000 meters. The new Xos 42 is a more manageable size at 42mm, and probably the one I'll end up getting. The FTX field watch is great as well, but that Xos has my name on it.

    Probably on the edge of affordable at any 1k, but I REALLY like these Lōci Pacific Coast Highway. They also have a quartz version for cheaper. I think I like the blue Monterey Bay and the black Big Sur the best.

    Intersect is also having an event that same weekend. Big watch weekend in Austin. I'll be there.

    That's going to be an incredible piece! Wow

    Anyone into Salt & Vinegar chips needs to give Hal's a shot. Best I've had.

    Was Mark's in the old church? I went there 25 years ago and it was incredible. Was sorry when that closed.

    This is pretty amazing. Guilloché MOP in white. Available for$659 on Kickstarter. Selten Watches.

    May want to check your math here.

    This is the guy I mentioned several weeks ago. I think he runs track as well and then just started football this year.

    Another really nice looking microbrands - Belhamel. Current pre-release pricing is under $400 if you sign up for the 10% discount. Some really nice specs (39mm and 300m of wr) along with very nice detailing like applied indices, SuperLuminova BW9, nice beveling on the case and the bracelet. If I was looking to buy a new microbrand I'd be looking hard at this.

    Absolutely, I tend to get a little overly excited about watches and bore most people. Happy to include additional information about the watch and the brands. Selten was mentioned previously. They are about to launch their Moonphase on Kickstarter on the 24th. The guilloché MOP dial is something else. I think it's being launched at about $550. https://seltenwatch.com/

    To get this back on track with affordable watches. Austin's own DuFrane Watch Company. This is the Mabry.

    Nicholas Hacko MkII. The orange is a limited series. 10 released the first year (last year), 9 this year, then, 8, etc. 55 total pieces. Not sure if any of the allocation this year is remaining. They have some other colors as well. Case, dial and hands are all titanium, so the guilloché on the dial and the feathering on the hands is incredibly difficult. I'm actually going to New York this week for an dinner at the NY Histological Society. Josh Hacko, Bradley Taylor, and Josh Shapiro will be there. Should be an amazing event. And on the Ostrich strap.

    The new Selten moon phase looks incredible, especially the guilloché MOP which I've never seen before. I think he's sending it to me to photograph so I'll post when I get it. Will probably be sold out by then. Definitely with checking out.

    Mine was approved yesterday. Derecho and Beryl finished off my trees. Bring it on.

    Also, as a heads up, Austin's own Trafford Watch Company is launching a new Capitol Edition colorway for the Crossroads in a couple hours. Well probably sell out pretty quick... His popularity exploded after Kevin O'Leary picked the Crossroads as his favorite microbrand on Teddy Baldassarre's channel a could months ago. I have the Mockingbird but I like the white dial on the Capitol edition. Not buying it though.
  18. HoustonHorn
    Agreed

    Brisket scramble. Roegel's delivers due Houston area BBQ.

    I've got the 369 Terra Brass on order. Right call because I really like the lume on most of the other models but don't like the white hands. I also have one of the original 528s. Betina is really friendly and a very talented designer. The Selten is great. I have photographed the Aventurine and almost bought one. Fantastic watch. I have the diver, but wish I had give with the green dial rather than the blue. I know someone selling their Meteorite if they haven't already. Caution though, they are selling it because it's hard to read with the hands against the Meteorite. I can ask if they still have it if you're interested. I think it's in like new condition. For an interesting shaped case, the Trafforx is an option. Made in Austin, he's requesting a new version on the 16th. Looks good. With the bracelet it has a bit of a Brew Metric vibe. Nathan is a good guy. I also really like the DuFrane Mabry. He's in Austin also.

    I really like these but I liked the Maen Manhattan Ultrathin more. But it's more expensive and I'm not really buying anything right now. Still have a few coming in I have to pay for.

    To be fair, I should have posted my earlier watch in the other thread. Here's an affordable watch. Definitely cool vintage Seiko styling.

    This year's GameDay watch. I sometimes have it on a sand colored ostrich.

    Apparently this kid is starting to pick up offers but only just started playing. Tobi Haastrup. Track guy but 6'4", 225 pounds. First varsity game had 7 tackles and 5 sacks.

    Over inflated sense of self importance combined with cognitive dissonance, a lack of self awareness, lack of critical thinking skills culture driven groupthink, and Q-minded inclination to conspiracies. They'll never figure out it.
