:shock:


"Dear Santa,

I have been a very good boy this year. I started a watch bargain hunting and sharing site that is becoming kind of popular and has made a lot of people very happy. For Christmas, I would like a watch just like the one in the picture I've included, except I would like it to have the emerald green suede strap.

I'll be sure to leave an extra-large plate of cookies, a tall glass of delicious whole milk and a snifter of brandy out for you, and a whole lot of carrots for Rudolph and the boys.

Your friend in time,

MoT"

I just backed this. Looks almost as nice as the Hamilton Intra Matic Panda, but at a fraction of the cost. Don't get me wrong. The Hammy is amazing, but this is a lot of watch for the money!
