Roman Numeral South Bend
Gorgeous Damaskeening
I always call this "reptile" or "gecko" because it reminds me of that type of skin.
Orlando Mendez stumbled on us and became obsessed.
He devoured our Instagram and reached out via IG messages. But for some reason I never see message requests in my notifications.
That didn't stop him though. He poked around some more and figured out that his friend Kory knew a few of the current members.
A few texts later, he had my number and we setup a meeting in the South Bend Watch Cave™.
Needless to say the meeting went great. We covered all the history and a few questions. A few days later he returned with his wife to pick up his 1908 Roman Numeral that is just pure class.
Another fun fact while you are here: Orland works at Transformation Ministries, where they seek to transform the hearts and minds of youth and their families while connecting others to the city in a positive way.
He lives and breathes South Bend and I'm so thankful I could help get an original South Bend on his wrist.
