Yep was a bit tipsy… incoming

I’m sure some of you have been there… had a few drinks, surfing TRF and other watch blogs and come across a watch that ticks some boxes… and boom! You place an order.. well for <$200, this worked out. I liked the size and case shape of the new timex Q gmt and like to have a quartz if two around for a quick grab n go.

Wow, finally you're first. Now look, I know it might hurt the first time, but it gets better the more you do it. I'm proud of you.

No regrets there, I find the more I drink the bigger the purchase.

I booked a trip to switzerland at 2am drunk one time cause i saw a flight alert in my email. Was possibly the best week of my life and i wouldnt trade it for the world. Not all drunk decisions are good but every so often they hit haha. Nice watch i like it.

Cool Timex, I have the "Pepsi" version of it.

Yeah, I've also been guilty of PUI(purchasing under the influence).

Some proof...

Exhibit B

Never drink, and surf the net for watches with your credit card handy … you’re welcome

Seriously though, congratulations it looks like a great buy

Hi Tom5518, did you reach out to me via PM about a watch? Just checking to make sure it was indeed you, and not someone who has taken over your account. I was not allowed to reply to the PM. Let me know, and we can continue the conversation over email. Thanks!
