enjoy it and wear it in good health! The Orange is really cool 🧡

Enjoying it a lot!

43mm in 'some' watches would be (for me) too large, but your watch is an exception! I think the size perfectly showcases the exquisiteness of the dial and back. The danger is rather than telling time, the watch will be taking time away from you (it must b...
