Hey everyone,

Been two years looking at this watch could allays think of a reason not to. Had three friends diagnosed with cancer over the last two months life is just to short. So thought why the f*** not. Two days old

Here's the watch.

With all the loss of loved ones and friends, it just sucks, don't it?!

Good move.

Good for you.

Why work hard your entire life to leave a big bank account for someone else to spend for you?

As long as your bases are covered, enjoy. Life is indeed too short.
