Incoming (Blame My Accountant)

I've figured that since my first automatic watch was a Seiko SKX009, it is reason why I can not get the Pepsi GMT off my mind. Therefore, I took my accountants advice and used a portion of my Tax ReFund to procure a 16710 Y Series Pepsi from DavidSW on Friday. It will be here this Tuesday, and pics will follow. I'm VERY excited about this purchase. It feels good to be part of the GMT family. Especially because the Pepsi is pure American flag, red, white, and blue.

Nice! That's a good CPA. Now a great one will work that in as a business expense.

The GMT's are nice watches! The Y serial should get you the SEL band with the Lug hole case. The best of both worlds! Enjoy!

ps who is your accountant?

What is a tax refund and how do you get one? I'm a DINK. Mr. IRS gladly takes my money but never gives it back.

Sigh. Unfortunately for me. It's my ACCOUNTANT who'll likely be buying a Rolex because of my taxes and not me.

your accountant knows the time effect on money....a few years down the road you may not be able to get the same piece at this price.
