Traded my Speedy for a Bluesy

I was having lunch with my buddy a few days ago and he wore this Sub and I wore my Speedmaster and we switched watches to try on. We got talking about watches and then the conversation switches topic to family and work etc, and before you know it we had other appointments that we had to go to. So we left the restaurant and forgot to switch back. I got his Sub and he's got my Speedmaster. I think I'll keep it. What do you think? It looks good on my wrist right?!

I think it looks a little big on you, but it might just be the angle.

Now that you mention it. Now I can't unsee it. Alright, I'm going to ebay it. At least I'll get some cash for a good watch that fits me.

Whoa! So...your buddy put his Rolex on your arm and then FORGOT to ask for it back because you both had appointments!
I have now heard it all.

Suspect scars on the arm. But coming back to the watch: no it doesn’t fit you well. Make Panerai effect.

I know it’s a joke. But no. I wouldn’t trade my Speedy for that ugly tri-colored squared watch.

You're not supposed to play with your hand with a cat, instead use a cat toy, a toy with a string and rod, but she's my first pet and I didn't know and 9 years later it's too late to change our behavior. I just accepted it.

Since it's no longer April 1st when the post was originally posted, just making it obvious this was an April Fools joke.
