No wonder it took so long for you to find a job...you had to go to 100s of interviews to find ONE office full of slamming hotties! You're such a snake in the grass.

Not easy digging up this old thread

Hey JJ,

This strap should prevent any further mishaps to your beloved Expy.

reminds me of my grandma who always puts a wristband on top of her rolex when she's does her gardening or even when she cooks. she's very careful with her rolex that it has not a single visible scratch on it (i'm not joking, i've inspected the watch myself). the watch by the way is more than 10 years old. if the watch stops, she doesn't even wind it. she waits for the exact time then she would carefully shake the watch a bit to make it run. she won't care if the date is wrong just so long as it tells the correct time.

hehe, don't think she'd be considered a wis. she's not into watches. the watch was a gift from my parents to her and so she treasures it dearly. she said she hopes to pass it on to my sister as an heirloom in the very best of condition.

she's a really sweet person. man, i miss her so much. she's in the u.s. right now.

I feel your pain. :) Last week I was walking in a crowded hallway at work and my watch (TT blue sub) banged into another guy's watch and put a large scratch and deep gouge in the lug on the crown side. I was so pissed but it was an accident and he is a friend so I didn't say anything, but I was just beside myself all day. But now I say what the hell it will get fixed when I send it for service in a couple of years. What can you do?

Regards, Tim in Hawaii

OUCH!!! Bummer Tim!!
Sux when it's an accident and a friend huh?
Can't get mad at anyone but yourself...
But like you said...it'll be buffed out during service...just try not to look at it
if you can.
