Impulse Purchase - and love it!!

Well I love my BLNR but I don't wear it daily.

I have a Tag Heuer Formula 1 Grand Alarm that I got 4 years ago when my little boy was newborn so it has sentimental value. The battery has just died so it's away back to Tag for a new one and it's a great little daily wearer. They quote 4 weeks for a battery so being Tagless got me browsing.

I'd admired this limited edition McLaren model for a long time and yesterday I saw the first one for ages as most are now sold. It's not very limited but there are 5000 and the pieces are numbered.

I loved the nato and the colour. I thought it was a fun piece and I bought it as it wasn't overly expensive and just did it as 0%.

I know most people on here won't love it but I do and it has a place in my little collection now :)

I like it. It's funny how adding a coloured NATO can sometimes actually tone down a busy dial design.

Thanks all, the watch wasn't needed.... I seem to have a problem and buy more watches than I need.

Guess I'm in the right place :)
