Embarrassing Secret
Alright, Watch Crunchers, let's see those embarrassing watches that you refuse to get rid of for reasons known only to you. They hide in the shadows, and come out on rare occasions, but you haven't posted it's photo on WC (yet!).

I'd really dislike a collection that was half a dozen black dialled serious watches, that would be so dull.
I’ll just leave this here. No real story other than the confluence of a long day, a glass or three of moscoto, prescription medication, and eBay.
This Invicta. I bought this before I knew anything about watches, just so I could have something to wear to the office besides my Casio Pathfinder.
Don’t worry, you’re in good company.
