Icon20 Incoming!
I have been soul searching the past 4 months what brand and/or model watch to buy. One day, out of nowhere, this watch appears. I had always been in love with this model, however, it never seemed to have found it's way to my collection as I have always been a one watch person.

Since the watch is second hand and never polished since its birth, it is currently having a very very light polish on the bracelet and will be on my wirst in a few days!

Keep you posted!
