Can never get enough of the pussy galore. Enjoy the day. Rolex 6542 bakelite.
Although I am on an almost perpetual hunt for a Master Compressor Memovox, stumbled upon this nice MC Geo today locally (was just out for a coffee). Pulled the trigger. Yeah, no regrets.
First day back to work after the holidays
I have to say I never believed when people said that the price of a watch didn't matter to their enjoyment. I always thought that was such a privileged thing to say. Not that any of my watches are expensive relative to many of the fine collections on this site, but I think I'm beginning to understand that the people who were saying it meant it honestly. This watch is so inexpensive, still really enjoyable.
Very nice Speedmaster!
. . . 'top' isn't high enough an accolade . . .
