Hi guys,

Thought I'd make a little post about my collection of watches....

My main daily watch is this Timex "TX something".


The next is my newest arrival (yesterday) and it a Haffstreuner HA008. It's huge, but it's not too heavy. It looks too big for my wrist but I lost quite a bit of my wrist size because I was away for six weeks and didn't go to the gym. I love the rugged design of it.


And now the king of the group. The Rolex Yacht-Master. Got this about 6 weeks ago from my parents for being accepted into uni. Love it!



Apologies for the crap pictures but my camera (and probably my picture taking skills) are crap.

Yacht Master is a stunning watch, have a look at this video it really shows it off fantastically well;

I stumbled upon that video and watched it through because it has a Stevie Ray Vaughan sound track, then found myself falling a little for the YM. Fantastic present for getting into University, I think my present was a pint down the pub.
