New watch landed, for my son

Post by 425ranger » Fri Dec 12, 2014 6:22 pm

I would like to thank TR very much for sending this beautiful watch to me for my son. It is better than I could have hoped for, seriously. AND I'll add better than I would have picked on my own.

The size and style is perfect. The band looks like the Bradystraps Sail cloth too.

Ok ok, my son loves it and here's some shitty cellphone pictures. ...

First one is a 150 year old buffet and clock from great grand parents. ... local guy totally overhauled it for 300 and it is awesome. It's the spot for our old timey pictures etc. Figgered some of you guys might enjoy it.

Good, $$$ tight so I've been on the sidelines for awhile. Works work but I'm steadily moving up so that's cool.

Still stealing a CPO slot from some poor slob? Ha! Fair winds Chief.

T.R. strikes again !!! :clap: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Man oh man, Bill congratulations to your son here !
What a gesture by Tom ! :headbang: Can't imagine a better, or nice watch for your son. I mean it's
a Timex, which was probably a lot of all of our's first watches, and the design is incredible. ..Looks
like a Sinn with all of the beautiful finishing, and details in the case.

Never have seen this particular model, and can just imagine how happy your son is to have it
on his wrist now. Yowza ! Hope he really enjoys !
