    Great to see you back, Steve! And the beard is👌🏼on you. Fellow Mihanikos owner and glad to see it staying in the collection with our Greek heritage. Yes, less is more as I too am thinning the herd. Please keep going/growing. You have everything it takes to be one of the watch review/podcast greats, and I don’t say that lightly. A part of Teddy’s cool kids club in no time. Let’s make it a great 2024. Yassou! 🎆🍾

    Fyi...that's goku on the dial not vegeta hahaha I'm an actual dragon ball fan. If that specific what you're wearing is called the Vegeta it's only because it's probably him looking through his power scanner at Goku but the person on the actual watch is not Vegeta at all not even close LOL

    Oh I know Goku is on the dial, as observed through Vegeta's scanner. On the back of the strap and watch is Great Ape Vegeta. The strap on the front is Vegeta's armor with the Saiyan Royal Crest.
