So I’m on holiday and was wandering about a shopping centre when the wife pointed out a tag boutique. She knows I’ve been hanging my nose over the Monaco as we are both the same age.
In we go and the sales person takes the classic blue face out of the cabinet. Off comes my Smiths Everest and on it goes... and... I just don’t like it. It feels light and insubstantial, the strap is unimpressive and the clasp feels flimsy.
I really wanted it to feel special but it just didn’t. Certainly not CAD 7800 special anyway.
Oh well back to the drawing board for a 50th year watch for me. I’m now thinking about a gmt of some sort. Possibly a breitling b04 based one or something else. Thinking cap time.
