I actually had never heard of a watch winder until you mentioned it, interesting. I dont have enough watches in my collection for one at this time. Tag Heuer has a nice f1 watch i saw recently, would be nice but a bit outside of what i feel comfortable spending.

With automatic watches, you gotta have some way to keep them wound if you're not wearing them. Otherwise you're constantly resetting the time and date.

Tag makes some cool watches. I've seen a few F1 editions I like. I liked the Carrera Senna, though I didn't like the bracelet. Wound up with a killer deal on a leftover NIB Monza.

Apparently a 5.5” blade is legal to carry anywhere in Texas. What are my folding options?

I have a few larger folders that I like. Cold steel recon 1, Ontario rat1 (although I think the blade is closer to 4" on that) and a Spyderco paramilitary 2, that one is closer to 4 as well.

I find carrying anything bigger to be a pain. Takes up too much room in your pocket

If im looking at the correct time piece online, that Senna is absolutely beautiful .The see through back plate really completes it. ?

Definitely would change the band though yes, for comfort reasons.

I really like my Spyderco Delica, it’s my EDC Not sure if they come in 5.5” though. Spyderco will have something that fits your needs.

if i worked normie hours i'd be closer to 60-70 minute commute. since i work 7a-7p, i miss the congested roadways so the commute is at 74mph most of the highway miles.

I don’t work normal hours either so I don’t deal with rush hour but my commute is also 11 miles of country roads. Only the last mile or so is in the “city”. Which isn’t even a city.

Be warned: watches are a slippery slope. Moreso than modifying cars

Seeing Rosebud Baker, she's fairly famous but it's at a local comedy place. Nothing too big, maybe 150 people

Really, Texas has a limit on the length? In IL you can carry whatever you want, as long as you do not have the intent to harm people with it or use it in a crime. Chicago is different though, dem 3 inches (i think).

2.5" in Chicago. Bogus. I still carry a little bigger though. I've got a rotating selection of edc and only 2 are 2.5"

For government buildings, court houses, and schools the limit is 5.5”s. Everywhere else there’s no restriction. And there’s no such thing as an illegal knife in Texas. Switchblades, machetes, Bowie knives etc. All legal.

I actually prefer a steel bracelet - I like the weight. I just don't like this particular one - looks like 1990s GM "organic" plastic cladding to me.

But yes it can definitely be a slippery slope. There's a lot of watches out there i like and want (most, or all, being steel sports watches), but they're all very similar in style/design, and can't really justify owning multiple of a similar looking thing. So I'm limiting myself to watches that are unique from one another, and at least carry some kind of personal connection besides "looks cool."
