Well we took our summer vacation this year to Florida to take the kids to epic universe to experience Harry Potter world and the how to train your dragon world. 3 days in epic universe and a ton of people and heat. Followed by a few days in Miami to celebrate my mom’s bday as my parents flew up to see family. Then we headed down to Key West to wrap up our trip.

Took one watch for the whole trip that could do everything

Most magical merry go round I have ever been on

Couldn’t keep the butter beer away from the kids

Robbie’s in the keys is a must for great food and drinks

BNIB with stickers still attached. Feel lucky to have 1/24. Figured we were already hemorrhaging money why stop now?

Love the chocolate

Something special behind that dial

Watch weighs more than a PT daytona so you can imagine the wrist presence it has.

One contributor expressed a personal preference against open dials, explaining why the Patek Philippe, despite its quality, didn't resonate as strongly as the Laurent Ferrier.

Gators everywhere down there, on the golf courses and definitely in the everglades where we went as well.
