Default Traded in the daily for a new one

This is for you watch guys, I have a bunch of watches, most in storage in another country, have a few here, but my daily driver for the last 3 months has been an Oris FLight timer. Couldnt resist today a chance to grab a Tissot TT, a commerorative for Nicky Haydn's world championship year....

Now my justification is a totally irrational thought that it matched the shoes I was wearing, some orange and black Pilotes.....thats my story and Im sticking to it. !

Funnily enough Its not as pretty as the recent Omega Seamaster in the same colours, which I might add I have my eyes on. But this is also the cheapes watch Ive ever bought !...

Came with a cool helmet container too !....SOme of these packages are worth $$$ The oris one came with a wooden replica hurricane proppelor for goodness sake.

Anyway..cheers to all you watch nutcases out their.

I have both Tissot MOTOGP 2005 and 2006. The 2006 comes with a Helmet too. They're great looking watches at that price.

Anybody here own a Sinn? They look like solidly built (German), mid-priced watches... very distinctive, too.

Totally irrational justification? What? Isn't that how your wife justifies her purchases...?

Haha, buy an Orange GT3RS and tell her it matches your shoes and watch

well you're not back yet to report meaning you likely haven't been online - which means you were kicked out of the house? Oh well, worth a shot.
