I felt like an 8 year-old kid opening up my new watch.

I felt like an 8 year-old kid opening up my new watch.

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
