Personal Note

I fell in love instantly when I saw this watch and I had to own it and bring it to the website for someone else to love and enjoy! Yes, the ghosted bezel won't be for everyone, but for those like me who like to think of the story of a watch, it makes me wonder what this went through, what kind of life it had? The beautiful thing is, we will likely never know, all we can do is continue its untold story through our ownership and wear. So add this stunning watch to your collection and enjoy it!
