And, after quite some time, a new watch.
Greetings. I embarked upon a mini vacation/roadtrip to Charleston, SC a few weeks ago. It started to rain while I was walking around the city post- Ft. Sumter tour and… “hey, that’s a watch place.” “Look they even have that bright/Kelly green “ROLEX” sign...
I got a right chuckle out of reading your post.
I felt like I was there with you, in every step and with every emotion. Do you work in the creative writing field? Congrats. GS’s will always over-deliver. Wear it in good health Hussam

Some of what have become my favourite watches are ones I’ve not been looking for and instead happened upon like your story here. My vote is for the NATO, to me almost all of modern GS are better not on the bracelet.
Yeah, funny how that works, eh? I wasn’t
really looking for anything in particular (aside from something made from unobtanium), but there it was. Go figure. And I think it’s going to stay on a NATO or strap of some kind.

I had an IWC (Mark XV). Sometimes I miss it.
No offense to anyone, but I prefer their offerings from a few generations ago over the latest iterations. If I had gotten a 3706 or period GST offering I’d probably still have it. Paul Gerber’s watches have always intrigued me. Simple yet not so simple..?...
