Hooked on watches at 12 Y/O, when my parents had my history teacher over. He was one of the1st American soldiers to liberate Dachau. He wore an A11, and I was hooked. Think it was an Elgin, but my father, thought it might’ve been a Hamilton. I started putting Watches on layaway as a kid, and it’s been a runaway train since. I have purchased & thinned out 50+ over the years, Keeping the Sub, a couple of G shocks, but like most, I’ve rotated through the rest. For me, the thrill is in the hunt.

I’m going to keep fighting with it, because now it’s a personal challenge. But, I am going to borrow your word “Bin”, which I assume means, throw it in the bin or trash. That’s what I love about this network, I get the cultural exposure, without traveling to the UK. (I’ve only been there once, but have forgotten some of the cool vernacular)
Love it👍🏼
That definitely has made a difference. I have fiddled with it now, and the last six or seven times it has gotten much easier. And love that strap on your G-Shock by the way.👍🏼👍🏼
It was very helpful! Thanks for locating that and sending it my way. Some helpful pointers for sure. 👍🏼
