Had a watch nerd moment today at PetSmart. The guy in front of me in line was wearing a Citizen Nighthawk like Lee has. He bought a collar and went over to the machine that engraves them. I paid for my items and went over to him and asked him how he liked it. He told me that he is an amateur pilot and loves the flight specific features the watch has. He also vented some about it having a mineral crystal instead of a sapphire crystal. He said it wasn't as clear but is easy to polish out scratches in. He then peeked at my Tissot that I was wearing and started asking about them as a dress watch. We ended up trading watches and trying them on; as both of us were interested in purchasing a watch similar to what we each had. 20 minutes later we had gone through all the watches we both had and it was a very pleasant, fun conversation. I don't run into fellow watch fans much; but, when I do, it's awesome.
Ha that is awesome! It's amazing how hobbies or common interests bring random people together! How did you like the Nighthawk after trying it on? It's my new favorite travel watch. I feel dude's pain tho...i am no fan of mineral crystals. That's why i got mine with a sapphire crystal upgrade on it
