New Girard Perregaux WW.TC
Picked up a new toy this weekendbeen eyeing this style for some time. Took a while to find the color combination that I was looking for. I think GP has made about 50 iterations of this model. Rose Gold with grey dial and cream/black 24 hr dial.Best wearing watch that I have owned. It's 43mm and I hardly knew that I had a watch on today. Nice and snug but yet very comfortable. My wrist is about a 7.5" diameter for reference.Hope to get some better pics taken this weekend.Love the brand, IMHO it's one of the top and way undervalued for what you get.

September incomings
I have one, so far (maybe I'll keep it to just one this time). It's my first 0-Size. Hamilton “U.S. Airmail” silver round ca. 1918 (photos courtesy B. Girouard)

Feeling Lost - Potentially Distraught
Truly a first world problem thread title... lamenting over a watch purchase, but I digress...Background: 3 years ago, within a month, I got married, started my own consulting firm, got sued by my ex boss, and turned 30. My wife and I sacrificed everything financially, physically, and emotionally throughout my startup. Moving in with the parents, eating canned meat, and working a second job at night for a year was all worth it as I beat the lawsuit, stayed married, and the business has become a tremendous success.
