GP Alarm ref 7742 R
Friends,
You all know I love alarm watches...
Last week AAAKK showed us his GP “Memovox” with a reworked automatic Caliber 916 inside.
This reminded me that I should show you this 7742 R.
A deeper report will follow…
But I can tell you already – it is a watch that makes me happy!
Speak about happy, over at the WristScan forum the theme for this Friday is “Your Happy watch”.
Please come and join us with your happy watch!
TGI Friday!
Best
