Sunshine and Pepsi
Well,

We don't often get sunshine in Scotland, and when we do it's a treat.

So I thought I'd take a few photos of my "new" GMT sneakily, without the neighbours thinking how weird I am

Best country in the world, especially when the sun shines.

I love Edinburgh, it's a great city.

I'm nearer Glasgow, arguably better for shopping but as it's not the capital, it's not nearly as touristy.

Thanks so much.

Do I miss the Air-king? Not really in one way as I never wore it, however I still have that slight sellers remorse when I see a a photo of one.

My head tells me the AK is the "better" piece as financially it cost less, for a watch that keeps better time, under 5 year warranty, anti-magnetic etc. It has the splash of colour I love too.

However my heart didn't quite connect with it which stopped me wearing it. Which is such a shame as I loved to look at it and admire it.

Did I make the wrong choice by trading it? I don't believe so as the GMT actually excites me and I actually love it.

The new AK will always be one I love, and could pick up again in the future.

That's my issue, the lust for one wasn't going away and the prices continued to get bonkers.

I'm keeping this one close.

Funny thing is I've had a few PMs offering to buy it, which I've never had with other watches.

I must have a good one
