Batman paid me a visit..

Hello!

I never really know how to write introductory posts. It feels a little bit like the first day of primary school where everyone stands up one at a time and says their name, where they're from and awkwardly waves around the classroom.

No? Anyone? That was just me then..

Anywho, I'm Kevin. I live in France/Switzerland (although I am moving to Glasgow next week for uni), and of course I am a massive watch lover. Also a car lover. Actually, I'm more of a car lover. *sorry*

I graduated a few months ago and received the ever so lovely GMT BLNR as a "hey, congrats bud!" from my parents.

Unfortunately, this summer I've had the worst luck when it comes to mobile phones (broke some, lost some), so I've had to put off taking pictures and writing on forums and whatnot.

So, on to some photos!

Not the best picture, trying to find bracelets that would match the watch nicely.

Best lume shot I could get with an ancient iPhone 4



I guess I have to say something like: My first Rolex, but definitely not my last!

Cool stuff.

Congrats Kev! Awesome pick up. I too hated those days in elementary school introducing your self. I would replay my speech in my head and completely ignore all the other student's intros.

I'm also a car lover my self. What car do you currently drive?

Again congrats and welcome.

Love that bracelet you are wearing with the watch. Who makes it and where did you get it?

Cheers!
