[unexpected] Eid gift to oneself
Jul 08, 2022,22:32 PM
While on holiday in Holland, I walked into a multi-brand to get my dad a watch (personal request to get him something simple). He’s got advanced Parkinsons, so anything mechanical was out of the question.
An hour later, I walked out with a lovely blue-dialed quartz Tissot PRX (Tissot being the family watch brand [FIL, brother, mother] and this bad boy 👇🏿
I’m far from an impulse buyer, and (with a whole lot of $ earmarked to watches from Dutch and British independent watch brands) it’s not like my wallet was feeling extra heavy or anything. But recent woes with my Sinn U50S (long story short; it’s going back to the manufacturer, and I’m getting a full refund) and my speedmaster auto racing being at repairs bc of water damage from being treated as a diver…I was left wanting for a light, accurate, robust diver.
And this certainly fit the bill. With a much-appreciated discount from the AD, and a VAT refund, it became a no-brainer purchase. Actually, my wife would probably disagree 😝
At least, I showed some restraint and didn’t get this beauty 👇🏿
Now the strap chase starts, again
Eid Mubarak to all those celebrating
And a good weekend to all
Hussam
