Looking good!

As for the Texas Orange Bluetooth, you can find one for a little less than MSRP on fleabay currently. It's one looker, that's for sure!

...for both your Texas, and your Frozen Cherry Limeade. I may have had the exact same drink when I had one at a Sonic in Nebraska last year.  Uber yummy!

Watch-fi,
 
When I was growing up I turned into a audiophile and overall music lover.  
 
My older brother on the other hand is into watches and sports cars, a few years ago he designed his own watch. 
 
This is his first design The Ristola Plongeur/UTC 300 Meter COSC/ISO Diver. 
 
All studio pictures were by Lee Shelly.

Interesting. How is he still able to source ETA movements?

He the man. 
 
All I know is he spent a lot of money getting the first one made and he knows people in the industry.

NOS stock.  He's not buying direct; same as Chronoswiss before Gerd Lange sold his soul and the brand became junk.  Remember the good days?  :)

 
I didn't even think of that... but how long before that well runs dry and the cost for a basic 2892 exceeds it's value?
 
What are the alternatives? Sellita... a Chinese clone with a factory in Switzerland? No thanks. I passed on some Tag heritage models I actually kind of liked (don't judge me) because they used Sellita movements. 
 
At least Breitling is starting to produce more watches with their in-house movements. I guess technically ETA is an in-house movement for Omega, but they have others as well... In fact, I'd be first in line for a PO or that gorgeous new SM300 if it weren't for the display backs which add too much thickness. Rolex and Tudor of course have always used in-house movements. But I digress... in-house is the way the entry level watch industry going, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.
