Haha. The sad thing is I paid for the shirt to come that way. Distressed. Lol. I'm sure the crown and lugs will contribute to the cause though!

A fashionista in California offered me $1,000 for my weathered and worn motorcycle jacket during a summer cycle trip this year. I should have taken the offer, but I really like the jacket.

I'm 29, own my own promotional products company (CMCPromos in San Francisco) and own a RG Sky, RG ceramic Daytona, SS Daytona, Explorer II, and WG Day Date 2.

In the past have had YM, Sea Dweller, GMT Master II, YG Day Date, and 2 other SS Daytonas.

Also had a JLC Reverso gran sport, Omega Planet Ocean- both bad buys

PS I'm happy to flip my unworn white dial SS Daytona (got a few months ago as a gift for my dad, turns out he wanted a RG Day Date instead- which I helped him pick out and get). Contact me at Zachary@cmcpromos.com if interested.
