The Watch Thread...

My daily watch:


I really want this tag, think I'll buy it for some special occasion. Maybe when I get a promotion or something!?

Festina make some really lovely stuff. Some of the Cycling event models they produce are fantastic. Didn't Diane buy you a rather nice Tissot last year ? You must have a bit of a collection buddy.....




My box-o-tricks is still growing. Mostly stuff that has caught my eye when on sale. Nothing hugely expensive here apart from one:





Latest edition a few weeks ago has a cool story though.....i had a few watches i was thinking of adding next, and realised one: by a Boutique brand called So&Co had 'New York' on the face. After Googling them - i found they were based in Brooklyn. I sent an email to find out they didn't sell direct or have any outlets - but distributed online. So i gave them an email saying i was on holiday in the area near Christmas, loved their stuff etc etc and was there any way i would possibly be able to collect from the factory while i was there.

Much to my surprise they agreed.

So off me and the wife toddled across Brooklyn Bridge:







Into Dumbo on the Brooklyn side (Where it started to snow):





Got the Subway, collected the watch and walked back across the Brooklyn Bridge in the the Snow showers which was pretty cool on our very first morning in NY......



So:





Still got the plastic - and plenty of finger-marks on the back.....



The watch is nothing special and is only an £80 job, but the memories of collecting it are what will make it special.

It's not all about the price Shuv! Looks nice, happy memories too!
