Talk about synchronicity.. would you believe I recently lamented the lack of a Bulova in me collection, and have been actively shopping for a Bulova? I am confused... Is Happy Day!

Alas I'm having a brain fart, and can't figure out how to set the date.. day is no problem, but 'tis NOT quick set, nor even a 2-step crown as far as I can see. Hey! We'll figure it out sooner r later! Laughing!

..Trias Observer Automatic. Is Happy Day! WIS honeymoon

I was totally gobsmacked thunderstruck bamboozled to see the Trias included. This is a watch I love so much that I've come this > < close to buying one in the past. No! Honest! Laughing!

In fact, I was so flipped out that I forgot to take additional pictures.. but rest assured I'll have more photos to share, and much more to say about all these watches.. henceforth known as The Indiana Clan. Wink, wink ...

So.. a hearty round of applause for Mark York, please! Applause Applause Applause Your generosity is amazing, Mark, and I pledge to take great care of these Poor Wayward Wristwatches. Wink, wink ...

by doing the going past midnight, backing up to 8 or 9 or 10 and then again past midnight dance. Just don't go back far enough to change the day, it does get tricky with those types.

Cheers,
