Unexpected incoming :)
Hello there
Let me share with you all a tradition I have been following since few years of gifting myself a watch every year on my birthday. I donot expect any gifts from my family and friends but I expect MySelf to treat me well. Fortunately I have very long list of watches I want to own in this lifetime and somehow every year I have been able to make a decision which includes thorough research about the brand , model , history and budgeting. Well researching is the best part. I need to fall in love with the watch as all my watches are purchased for good. Flippers please stop reading :) when I buy a watch its a lifetime commitment. So now coming back to my birthday which is after 6 months. This time something unexpected happend I made an impulse purchase and now have another 6 months to research its heritage. Yes I will not wear it till then and I believe I do have lots of patience. The reason I bought this watch in a blink is firstly its aesthetics , origin , overall feel and spanking new in house movement. Lets begin the show :) and share the love!

Lovely watch...Interesting how you bought it on "impulse", but are willing to wait 6 months before wearing it. We share a strange watch-related disease; Enjoy!
