    Nice story and watch mate!

    Was your thread title anything to do with the Tom Waits tune? Immediately what I thought when I seen the thread

    Well I'm very late to this thread but what an awesome looking watch. You still have it, still wear it and still like it?

    Yes still have it and wear it but not in a regular rotation , just on special occasions and when out with the family as it is a more sentimental watch (to me) . It's very accurate and I've had no problems at all , and would recommend buying from jun.
