The "New Watch - I'm too excited" Thread

Anyone else too excited when getting a new watch that you have to take pictures as your driving home (at a stoplight of course)? I'm sure I'm not the only one so please show your fresh pics!

I've run into a young lady while walking out of an AD because I couldn't take my eyes off of a watch. By the way for you bachelors, it's a good pickup line.

Beautiful. Isn't it true that even music sounds better and food tastes better when you have a new watch on? I certainly find this to be true.

My car even feel faster.

Kind of like when I was a kid: New tennis shoes made me run faster and jump higher. ...They REALLY did!

I think the "lose that dial" was meant to be "love". That second hand is really fun. Enjoy!!!

Thanks guys for all the kind comments. I had to sneak those pics in at a long traffic light so no texting and driving. The dial really is mesmerizing and could easily be a distraction while driving.
