Hello everyone!
Been a while since my last update…though looking at the post date not as long as it felt!
A lot has happened since I last posted, Xmas, New Years, but mostly I’m still just here doing me.
A few updates is that I’ve been working on my Youtube channel and trying to motivate myself to post more (it’s just the editing that slows me down so much!)
I have some non-car related news; I have been realizing a lot of NSXers are BIG into watches…and so am I.
I want to take this time out to say how sad I was to hear that Matt Lindsey passed away…he was such a good person and wonderful friend. I had spoke to him only a few days before his passing and when I heard it struck me so hard I was very depressed for weeks.
I’ve decided to eventually buy a Rolex GMT “Batman” since that was the watch Matt received a few short months before his passing and I’ve decided that it would be a living memory of our friendship and the loss of a brother.
Matts passion for watches was just another way for us to connect, geek out, and grow closer.
After talking to a few NSXers on the social media site we-dare-not-speak-its-name-on-Prime and professing my love for vintage Seikos there were many that also collect so I wanted to dump a few of my watches here.
My latest acquisition: Seiko Speedmaster 7a28-5000 purchased this one without the original band at a big discount and am just using a generic rubber (I like the look!)
My pride and joy a “Katakana” Seikosha piece from WWII when the Japanese government outlawed the use of any Roman characters. I had purchased this one and was told it was operating (which turned out to be false) and have searched for someone local that would take on the project.
“セイコー” = Seiko
I dropped it off a few months ago and FINALLY got it back yesterday…words cannot express how happy I am that it is working again. It’s a piece of history AND artwork. Even the owners of the watch shop were amazed to see one of these since they’re super rare and even happier they could fix it.
I also have a Yachmaster that I’m pretty happy with, but don’t currently have a picture of.
This post is for you Matt, miss you bud.
