When Old feels like New Again...

I haven't worn my RG Skeleton for more than 7 months now while it lies peacefully in my bank safe. I almost forgotten I own this watch until a new incoming thread in here reminds me of it. So finally I took it out to wear and do a quick strap swap to the original brown strap and Viola! It feels like a new watch I just bought.

And want to share this pic. It tops my all time most liked in IG. I think it's deserved it's own thread

Have a great weekend!

That's like the ultimate version of finding £10 in your pocket that you didn't know you had.

Beautiful !

Fantastic looking RO! One of the best. I have had that happen to me before. You forget about wearing a watch and after many months, it is rediscovered, and it feels new. Try not to forget this one again, it is stunning.

Fantastic watch. If you live in Singapore, I'd say the watch shouldn't be relegated to a safe in a bank. You're lucky to live in one of the safest and most watch friendly countries on earth ��.

That's exactly the feeling. Part of the advantages of owning a large collection.
