New arrival to add to the family...
...of watches, that is!
For the longest time, I've been vacillating back and forth between a Yachtmaster and a GMT IIc. I thought I'd made up my mind, but after a false start and near purchase, decided to hold off and think a bit more. I finally settled on this new baby (picked it up at a local AD last weekend), and boy am I glad I did: Pretty bag... ...hmm, seen a few of these before: All of the goodies, and a drumroll: End drumroll, hit crash cymbal!! Close up: And of course, the obligatory wrist shot: I LOVE THIS WATCH!! It took a lot of mulling to decide upon it, but I don't regret my decision a bit. Received several compliments already, she is definitely a keeper!
