A bit of 'retail therapy' had me indulge in a little 'comfort shopping' yesterday

Bought myself this:

Pondered over the options for a while Black Face / Black Strap, White Face / Brown Strap, Numerals or Batons, but this was my final choice.










So my current daily beater tourbillon gets relegated

Nicely done, Reg. If you're bringing one of them boxsets back to Blighty, I may be tempted myself. :D

I must say, it's very ostentatious with all that gold, but they like that where you are right now. It's probably a bit much for a northern Pub. :shock:

Aye and along with freezing cold mornings and hours toiling over a bubbling cauldron of quaker oats youd only get it all steamed up anyhoo

Just to stop the Touby feeling dejected

I got to buying a 'Swiss Lizard' strap for it:

Now I thought that Swiss Lizards were just another South East Asian 'Little White Lie'

But on reshearching it, seems that little ole Switzerland is inundated with the pesky critters, they descend from the mountains and gorge themselves on the Toblerone crops.
