Poor man's watch thread

[Keith Taylor]

Torgoen sent me a review sample of their T9 GMT pilot a few weeks ago, and since then I've been obsessively checking to see if they have any interest in giving me another. It's not exactly the most refined watch I've ever worn - the second hand strikes 25% beyond the markers and the stock leather strap was far too chunky (seen here with a strap taken from one of my Alpinas) - but I find myself coveting almost every model in their range. There's something about the oversized details that just works for me, and for the first time in a long time I'm a little tempted to crack open my dusty wallet and actually spend my own money on a watch. That's a pretty high bar to clear when manufacturers send them to me gratis

Thanks. Tomorrow will be two weeks since the surgery. I'm already up and about, taking short walks and feeling stronger every day.

Take care of yourself! I count on your shirt / watch combos to brighten my mood!

Glad to hear your feeling stronger.

Oh wow. Get well soon!

If your doctors recommend/can refer you (or you can do independently) to the Ornish Cardiac Rehab Program, do it. 9 weeks, intensive, an excellent program. I think many larger hospitals have it now.

And, yes, looking forward as well to many more shirt/watch combos.

Cheers and best of luck!

Love the baby blue dial.

I replaced the factory bezel insert with an aftermarket world time insert. It really changed the look.
