What are you anxiously waiting to be delivered ???

Is this from Long Island Watch? If so, he’s based in a town to the south of where I am and all his models are named after different towns on Long Island NY (and try to reflect something about the town for which they are named, usually a common conception/stereotype)
Yep, my first from them, but the dial caught my eye. This one is the Melville.

Melville is an affluent hamlet in the town of Huntington in Suffolk County, on Long Island, in New York, United States. The population was 19,284 at the time of the 2020 census.

The area was known to the Native Americans as Sunsquams. In the 17th century, it was named Samuel Ketcham's Valley, after one of the earliest natives living there. It was later known as Sweet Hollow, likely due to the large population of honey bees and the honey found in the trees.


And here is me and Mark from Long Island watch!

LEGENDARY! Rock The VEG!

Also, don't forget to get some Osage Rub.
Actually, the Osage was sold out, and i wasn't too fond of getting a stimulating all purpose Menthol rub that COULD be used as an aftershave... I just stuck with actual aftershaves and aftershave colognes.

Just ignore Draggon Noir. I think that's just cologne with alcohol and fragrance oils that is used as aftershave. I'll have to really dollop on the witch hazel.

As it says on the label, it’s meant for the head and face. It’s magical during the summer. It’s a great splash to use on hot days. I also keep some in a spray bottle when I’m going to be out in the heat for a while. A few sprays on my face, neck, chest, and back keeps me cool for hours.

It’s labeled at an EdT, but it has propylene glycol in it, so it does have some moisturizing. I use it as an aftershave without issue. Never noticed it being drying. If you find it to be, you could always just add some glycerin to it.

It doesn't really interest me much. I already have a set skin routine and would prefer not to use it. Plus, in florida, it's hot yes but I sweat enough and would find this combination uncomfortable.

Never was too big a fan of menthol but I do like Aqua Velva
 
The simplest design in nearly all of human history....the watch face....messed up in one swell swoop....and you're impressed?
Well, if you understood the complication of this watch, you might understand, yet again, Steven proves to us, that he has the horological appreciation of a soap dish. So sad, but give him a beer can and he’s like a toddler with a new Binky.😂😂😂
