Quiet thread lately...
I fell for targeted ads and pre-ordered the piece below. I've always had a thing for older warplanes and passively been on the lookout for something that resembled field watches of yesteryear. I was on the fence about this, but the price was decent considering it's a swiss mechanical. The pen is a $$$ add-on that I didn't bother with - it does, however, come with a model P40 I can give my kid. It's sapphire crystal and comes with a bracelet and strap, which is nice.
I still wasn't sold, until I contacted the company on fb and asked if I could gift the included year-long membership to the museum in Cincinnati to someone deserving. Both the company and the museum were excited about the idea, so they'll be donating it to a vet as part of a new program they have that gives vets tours while the museum is closed. You can see below they're pretty stoked about the prospect, so I told them I'd pass the word around to others who might be looking for a similar watch and/or help a vet. Give them a look if you're in the market.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
