In Case You Missed It...

So I realize that the majority of folks in Watch Town, and those who are "Watch Town Adjacent" live with the unflinching conviction that the sun rises and sets at Hodinkee. So it would be understandable for those who were privy to the launch of the Rowing Blazers / Seiko mash up drop yesterday and didn't act fast might have missed out on a pretty cool sport watch that has already sold through the Rowing Blazers online store -

Long story short, if like me you are a fan of Rowing Blazers efforts and you are not a habitué of certain media outlets, you might have missed out as the three versions sold out very quickly.

Well, your pal Henki has some good news for you. As a member of the press (someone who not only did a brief stint at J-school but remembers the importance of research as opposed to waiting on the press release that might never come), I thought I would do something wild and crazy and dig beyond what never showed up in my in-box. Lo and behold (Seiko) sports fans! If you went to bed last night feeling as if you got the fuzzy end of the lollipop, you can still (as of this writing at 6:00 AM Eastern on Friday, June 18) pick up a Rowing Blazers x Seiko sport watch -

Because at the Seiko site, they are still available -

So if you missed out on the drop, here's hoping that our attempts at egalitarian, FREEMIUM coverage will help you cop one of these pretty drip divers for yourself, even if you don't claim membership in the cult of the big H.

A very, very happy Juneteenth to all of you, and enjoy your watches!
