The reason being I read Kevin's post about how he bought the Nino automatic while under the influence, and got a good laugh out of it. I've long since learned me lesson about WisUI, you see, and said to meself "Silly bugger. Doesn't he know that poitín and don't mix?", as I sipped my Tullamore Dew. Well, then I recalled he'd mentioned a purveyor of mesh bracelets a bit earlier, and I'd been meaning to check them out. Well, long story short, I found that said seller also pushes watches along with bracelets & straps, and this morning I woke up next to an eMail announcing that I'd bought this:





Now, it could have been a lot worse, for I paid a mere US $29.30 shipped. Me Inner Scotsman keeps me from being too extravagant, even when I'm in me cups. And given that even the equivalent costs more than twice as much nowadays, I reckon 'tis a pretty good gamble...




Here's the auction description

Nice profile..



And it at least has a screwdown caseback, though I'm not sure about the crown(s).



It's shipping from Hong Kong, as you might expect, given the price. So now The Wait begins.

A Planet Ocean homage has been on my WISh List for quite some time, though, so I reckon another week or three won't kill me...

Thanks fer readin', y'all!

Oh, and did I mention the fact that I love the brand name, it being..

It's clever how they make the day/date subdials look like chrono subdials! I am confused (n/t)
