Cool Me? Impulse buy anything? NEVER!!!

But I did today!!!

Wifeys birthday soon ....... thought I'd get some jewellery (yes, I know, I'm so kind and generous and a magnificent man in his flying machine!!)

Well, while I was in the jewellers I took a fancy to the SEIKO Kinetic Wristwatches ................... looked at a couple, very nice indeed - I do like my Timepieces

I had a look around for these watches and all over they were about the same price £250'ish .................. well, low and behold, I found a bargain one and bought it there and then!!!

Please call the Emergency medical services ...... LCD Monitor yesterday Ladies Jewellery today and then to round today off ..... a Seiko Kinetic Watch

I feel dizzy ................................

Pete

I hope that yours keeps going as long as mine has then PSL. It even has phases of the moon, I set that over Bahrain on the way home and have never had to change it either. Useful for sea fishing.
