So when you start to establish a passion/hobby/interest, you can get carried away before you're even sure you're into it.

I.e became completely obsessed purcashing books and trawling forums before knowing if I actually liked a speedie on the wrist.
Well, I dropped into a store that had something close to my grail watch. The lady in store was super happy to let me try it on which was great! And as expected, loved the way it looked on my wrist
I was really surprised how light and smaller the 1171 bracelet was in real life.

This particular example from 1971 had a cool step dial but was polished at some stage. The dial looked really pretty to me, but what do I know. Not sure I was happy with the price tag, but it was more an exercise in what will inevitably be soon... soon we'll be together
