I felt like an 8 year-old kid opening up my new watch.
Outside of a $100 Swiss Army piece I bought just for travel years ago, it's the first one I ever bought just for me. (I have my late father's Vacheron and Omega from the 1950's) My younger son is a watch nut.
The delivery was an hour ago, handed to my son at the door.
And --- the bonus goodies --- especially the metal band were terrific.
(Back in 1960, in the South China Sea, in heavy weather, I could have used the flask, although it would have been a no-no). Great fun. At this age, 88, it will be filled with memories.
Sincerely,
Bruce Newman
