I'm screwed. I bought one at the end of last year and I'm already taking possession of a new one on Friday!

I bought, I think, three watches last year. However, they don't fall into the luxury category. They just prove how weak I am when it comes to watches. No watch is beneath me.

Grady, what does the green, yellow and red bar under the hands and above U.S. MARINES mean/signify please? It looks like a medal ribbon/bar.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!
That's absolutely correct. That is the Vietnam Service Ribbon. Been there; done that.

I will say that last year I bought two "Railroad Quality" Pocket Watches because they were both excellent buys. And one was a Pocket Watch made by Hamilton and bought by the U.S. Army(Ordinance)during WW II to be used in the European Theatre. It did see use but of course I have no proof where or when it was actually used.....
AND...we did buy the Love of my life, Pam, a Rolex Watch back in August to celebrate our 35th Wedding Anniversary. She hadn't been wearing a wristwatch for years but when we walked into our Jewelry store and AD she saw the new Rolex Display...and the rest is history. I will say that everyday now she wears that watch with pride and I'm just happy that it brings her Happiness!!! Take care.....Leo

I walked past the Rolex boutique in Beverly Hills yesterday. Paused at the window, but didn't go in.
Why take chances? |
