I know it sounds corny, but every time I wear mine... it's like the first time.

I hate to admit this, but I kind of like letting it run down because I kind of get amused watching the Day & Date both snap at midnight. Maybe on New Year's Eve, I'll stay up and watch it happen in real time!

When my better half and I first got together, She could never understand the power of the Rolex :-) We went into a few of the up market shops at the gold coast and as per usual I was dressed like a total dag not much of a reaction from the staff, until I pull up the sleeves and a YG DD is on show :-) talk about tripping over each other

Another thing to do with the bezel on the DD and DJ is point a laser pointer at an angle, lot of little red dots all around the room, like a disco ball heheheh

My wife was just using her crystal reflection to play with the cat yesterday. She was chasing it all over the place.
