So only a watch person can appreciate this!!!
So I was going to throw on my beater Swiss Army this morning and as I was adjusting the date I noticed something!! The battery was dead !!! WTF!
 So I did what any watch nut would do, I wanted to sport a chrono and I refused to let this modern day upset turn, so the Daytona must be strapped on today!!  There nothing like the love of a mechanical watch!!! |

It's true that every cloud has a silver (or at least stainless steel) lining.

Good choice. That's why automatics are preferred among WIS.

After buying my Rolex, I'll never own a watch that requires battery changes.

Was the Swiss Army a pacifier watch you wore while saving for the Daytona?

Nope I never actually wanted a Daytona but I was in NYC and it caught my eye from someone wearing on the street and when I saw it finally at the AD, I ordered from a trusted dealer here on TRF!!
