Haha it really is nice when traveling but that's about it. Honestly the blue stripe of the 5600 looks cooler imo. You absolutely didn't go wrong!

Can't recommend the solar atomic enough. I'm sure the 5600 is also a phenomenal watch (given it's basically the same).

Seems like you know what you're doing, but for everyone else here, you will never get your carbon steel as nonstick as Teflon.

You can absolutely get a great seasoning that works for whatever it is you want to cook, but it will never be Teflon.
