I Took The Plunge.......

Earlier today, I took the plunge on my first ever 'dress watch' .........




that's after years and years of only accumulating 'sports watches'........ and it seemed pretty intimidated being the 'odd one out' ........




but it all ends well.....






Happy weekend folks!

That's a great old skool collection you have there, I've owned a few of those in the past.
