From Hong Kong to Dallas

I loved the retro look and am a Casio fan boy, well Casio fan Sr Citizen. I asked myself the eternal question: "Well punk, this is a Casio, one of the most affordable and dependable watches on the planet. Do you feel lucky?" And my inner Dirty Harry pulled the trigger.

That night in some generic warehouse in Hong Kong, the Casio was wrapped in bubble wrap, tossed into a larger 6" x 6" brown box, taped close, shipping label generated and slapped on, and rushed with hundreds of other unrelated items to the Hong Kong post office. Only hours later, squeezed in between boxes of various other made in China products, it lifted off in a cargo plane headed to Chicago. It cleared customs the next day and was in the hands of the of oh so careful USPS, on a pallet in truck headed for Dallas Texas. I will spare you the rest of the story, it arrived and is on my wrist.

Love it.

That's a cool retro Casio and it's in stainless too. I like the pushers on the face of the dial. Great pick up. Wear it with smiles.
