Icon20 That's A Lot Of Gold

I've seen a photo like this before and decided to give it a try. Both watches have one link removed.

I just made it. Slightly over one pound between the two. Cloth included.

Wow!

I had two plat DD40s in my hand with no links removed two days ago, it wasn't appropriate to take a picture but boy that was cool.

I forgot how heavy these were as I only had PMs recently but a great ancillary benefit of having an SS is the lovely and luxurious contrast it draws and makes you re-appreciate the PMs.

How do you decide which one to wear???

It took me a few months debating buying the blro vs. smurf and the blro just edged out the smurf. If I had both... I might have to wake up an hour or two early just to make the decision!

Thanks Folks.

I'm retired so I don't put much thought into everyday wear. I've only have the BLRO for a week. What I've done in the past is just grab one and wear it for a week or two.

If I have a special occasion coming up, I'll put some thought into it but other then that, I just grab one.
