Guilty pleasure -> Sometimes you can't help it.

A NIB 16618LB bought six years ago. Been worn it ever since and I love it even though it might be a bit "loud". I can live with the "loudness", because it's comfortable to wear and the colors...the colors...blue and gold is just perfect.

This 16618 is indeed my guilty pleasure.

No explanation needed here. The issue tends to be those that don’t understand this WIS sickness. To them we are friggen nuts.

Nice pic but for the love of god, lets put another link in that bracelet. I can hear the gold stretching! Is your hand numb?

5-digit case is perfection. And it will always be the only design that I lust after.
