So, I know these #watches were panned when they were released.  I think too many people thought that it was #Bulova trying to cash in on the #Moonswatch. But, I didn't see it that way, I thought the idea of doing ocean themed #divewatches made a lot of sense.  Even the idea of doing them in ceramic with rubber straps that incorporate recycled garbage that's been pulled out of the ocean made a lot of sense.

The thing that didn't make a lot of sense was the pricing. They were priced as if they were Moonswatches, which they weren't.  Now, if they had a Precisionist movement, then the pricing would have made sense -- at that point it would have been a bargain.

However, a year later, and things have changed.  Bulova has dramatically lowered the prices of these watches, making them much more in line with what they should have been in the first place.  So, I picked up the Blue Whale #Snorkel watch to see if I liked it.  And, yeah, it was very nice, so I used some discounts I had available and purchased the Sea Turtle and Seagull watches.

To me, these are really great casual, weekend wear watches.

#USPol #Patel #Snorkel #Arizona

Kash Patel was given a "VIP Snorkel" on the US Arizona in Honolulu.

Sen(VA) Mark Warner who fancies himself a stalwart military supporter put out a statement decrying....Patel using taxpayer money. Literally a passing mention to the moral bankruptcy.

Dem Pollsters continue to lead weak willed pols to disaster.

Watching this clip closer, it's *dozens* of badly spliced takes...as if he can't even make his statement without practice.
