Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks

Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

It's like a bahaus dive watch. Which is probably not what you want for actual diving, but who actually takes their dive watches diving? :lol: I like it!
I wish that watch were 38mm?
