Lol drives my wife nuts but she's a sweetie and puts up with it. My guitars is where she starts drawing the line. 2 years ago I bought a Martin. wanted one all my life. She said you've earned it, biy it. lol then she saw the invoice where I ordered it. lol that look was pricless.
Ha ha, classic………we only live once, life is too short for regrets! Luckily i dont have too many illnesses, or ones that are expensive(i know watches can be one of the worst), i dont have the money for it to become that way :money_mouth_face:
Another addition, citizen this time and polished case/bracelet
Have a 009 on the way, thats off Rach and the kids for xmas though so wont have till then. Reason for a 009 over a 007(may get at a later date anyway) is simply the pepsi bezel grew on me from when i first looked into one. Kind of like the blue face and bezel to break up the normal black basically……….
The Citizen NY0040 is up there with the SKX, i wonder if they are discontinued, they have been sold out in lot of places for a long time…i really need to get one, the NY2300 is a great catch, even harder to find, i’m jealous :innocent:
Thanks James, really like the citizens and the bonus of being able to wind via the crown over shaking it ! Got a 20mm super engineer 2 coming for the pepsi bezel…………might get a 22mm watchadoo bracelet once the 009 comes(well after xmas anyway).
Apparently the 0040 might be discontinued also, oh well i went and ordered both BNIB, presented it as an investment to the better half, and it might not be completly oportunistic optimism… :innocent:
Today i received some nato straps from BG, at first sight they appear as good as the ones i have from cheapnatostraps, but less expensive obviously, :+1:
I have a few watches so I don’t always wear the same one every day.
This one gets a lot of wrist time since my old tired eyes have no issues reading it, day or night.
A little early to tell…but initial impressions are quite good. I must say, it looks quite nice.
I sized it and will wear it the next few days to see how it holds up. I might do a review on it and a few other autos I have…another Bliger, a few Parnis’ and some others.
I received a long time ago the Skmei i ordered on Aliexpress for 11€.
I’m not impressed either way, it’s pretty much what i expected, the case looks cheap especially the coating and the fact that the lugs look soldered on the case, the seconds hand is missaligned, the bracelet looks and feels cheap, i haven’t measured timekeeping precision but the watch is still working since i received it, good point i guess.
