Timex Expedition... did I make a mistake?

Once a year I leave into the North Carolina mountains to enjoy RennSport Dragon Rally with my tribe of fellow Porsche enthusiast... I flew in and had my 1998 Porsche Boxster trailered up to Atlanta where we drove about another 6 hours through country roads up to the event location in Fontana NC.
Along came my 1st prototype Gentleman Racer and the Timex Expedition North. And after 3 weeksI came to realize that I could have made a mistake jumping the gun and purchasing this watch before my 3 day wait period... oh well.
here are my thoughts... Enjoy the scenery, cars and my banter.

Hey guys... it's been a while but I'm back this week with an expensive test on what works best with Willard. And after many dollars dropped on fantastic Uncle Strap bracelets I came to the conclusion that a rubber NATO is the best way to wear this watch. Have a great weekend! and stay tuned for reviews on the Senator bracelet from Uncle Strap... spoiler, I bought two, one for Willard and one fo...

Well, lots of things to talk about... I got a new toy... the DJI Osmo pocket 3. It's a game changer for recording videos. I also delve into my dislike of White dial watches and why Omega has changed my mind... Damn you Omega and lastly after years of keeping it to myself I let you know why I dislike the MoonSwatch and if you are going to spend that cash find a vintage Casio 5600-C to buy, cause...

Well, It has been one year and eight months since the Black Bay Pro became not only a part of my collection but a watch that although its a slow burn it has ended up being one of the best... if not the best watch I have ever owned. Join me on my recent trip to Vail Colorado where the BBPro and I made some memorable memories, from snow shoeing up to a frozen waterfall to skiing on a very crowded...

Measured! From 13.2mm down to 12.8mm (Same as the Rolex Sub date (2020) and boy has it changed for the better! Namoki Mods Slim caseback is a game changer for the Willard! It not only drops the watch on the wrist, it also feels lighter and wears much more comfortable than the original. Sure you'll loose the depth rating but honestly, I used to be a diver and never went below 95 feet and now I d...

Well, once again at Seaside Florida with my Black Bay Pro but this time on a new Uncle Seiko president bracelet. It’s a game changer for those of us that didn’t but the original Tudor Faux rivet bracelet. Personally I don’t like the faux rivet but it is an amazing bracelet… just couldn’t justify spending over $850 on it. So Uncle Seiko to the rescue… for $160 you get a lot… no comparison to the...

I'm back in Bimini, Bahamas with Willard and the Black Bay Pro. The last time I was here I was testing out my new Willard and now going a bit over a year on I find out that it hasn't lost its step. I am a huge fan of my Black Bay Pro and truthfully thought I wouldn't be wearing the Willard since the BBpro is such a great all-around (dare I say) one-watch collection. But no, I actually found mys...
