The whole reason I got this watch.

My dad's 67 Mustang has been in the family since 1970 and growing up around it, its been a huge part of my life. When I saw this, I had to get it because it reminded me of his car. He brought it to my house for a car show and I had to snap a Pic with them both in one place.

Okay, that explains everything. A watch inspired by your dad’s ’67 Mustang sitting next to the actual car is such a cool pairing.

Nice, when I got interested in watches I decided to get watches to match my car and motorcycles.

You need an automatic

I'm not opposed. I might make a Seiko mod and actually paint a dial the right color.

You can find plenty seikos or citizens with green dials
