Unleashing My Monster

Get your mind out of the gutter tossers. Especially you Jay Jay This is not another thread about my d**k. It is however to tell you all of my new watch. It's a Seiko SKX779K. Also known as a Black Monster. Ed, notice I said black, not orange. I've been eyeing these for about six months now and finally decided to pull the trigger after finding one brand spanking new from a reputable seller on the bay. It took three weeks to get here from Singapore, but it didn't matter.
I just got it yesterday and haven't had much time to admire it yet, but I can tell you this, I'm impressed. The watch has heft. It feels as solid as a rock. The clasp has a double lock system on it and seems very sturdy. I like the crown at the 4 position also. It's different. Well enought yada yada. Thanks to my buddy Johnny for giving me the little extra push I needed to buy one. This watch seems like one tough MOFO.

It looks good. You don't have to worry about the power going out. If it does, it looks like that watch will light up a room

Congrats on the watch, Paulie, but what happened to the picture?
