HHD All!


New acquisition? What a watch! The oyster case is pure legend. That watch will last forever, with minimal care. Is that 34mm or 36mm? Every collector should have at least (1) oyster.

Very masculine looking piece - and I really like your sweater combination 馃榾

Bonus+++++ points for the put-together-look 馃榾

It has been some time since I last strapped this one on.

I used to not like the wave pattern...but more and more I feel fond of it.

I'm now wearing my PO XL.

While I really do like the watch head, just not liking the bond bracelet.
