...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!
