After a 5 month purchase moratorium, finally picked up a little somethin'...
 
I just realised recently that the last time I treated myself
was last year. I've been so wrapped up with work that I
guess watch shopping just slipped my mind. Well, in celebration of a particular achievement at work this past week, today I broke the dry spell.... Pics when I get home :lol:

Sort of TT Tudor? Interesting. It has to be the Blackbay then.

Congratulations, Jake! Nice reference.

Jake B 5 April 2014 07:34 PM

Thanks, man...I was just walking around with my wife this afternoon, on the first really nice sunny day we've had in awhile, and bumped into this in the front window of a local jewelry/watch shop. The price was decent, and after I'd talked my way into a bit more of a discount, I just had to.

So, in celebration of my recent accomplishment, the culmination of 5 years' work....I now own a watch I've been eyeing on and off for two years now, and my first modern Tudor :cheers:

Now for the de-stickering/sizing ritual :clap: ... & then out for a bite to eat & see Captain America with my woman. Life is good. :thumbsup:
