Vintage Benrus on the wrist today for a Throwback Thursday. It’s been quite a while since I’ve worn this antique store find.

I've been eyeing this watch the whole week already. It's one that has really crept up on me, there just something about it when on wrist, that I love. Pictures never quite capture it, the BRETTSTER is camera shy.

Ah, the Bulova Marine Star watch—clearly designed for intrepid explorers who brave the perilous depths of… their office water cooler. Sporting a bold blue dial and a saucy skeleton window flaunting its mechanical guts, it’s basically screaming, “I’m automatic, darling, and I’ve got nothing to hide—except maybe your tardiness.” And with 200m water resistance, it’s more resilient than your excuses for hitting snooze on a rainy day. Have a great day everyone!

The weekender is my favorite piece where the games tokens act as second hands circling the dial. Note the properties bordering the dial, in proper order I may add. While I don't need another weekend, for it's price it certainly is tempting. Maybe if I hit a Community Chest or one of you guys lands on my Boardwalk with a Hotel.
