The Survivors: The importance of straps

Recommended Posts

grb

Nearly five years of twenty times a day of logging on here this is all I've got to show for it.

I'm also not sure whether madness is present to make people arrive here or whether you acquire it here.

 

The journey.

 

Bulk buying.

Better quality

Vintage

 

 

Regrets.

 

Believing bullshit.

Not protecting David Ridgewell from being bullied.

Biting my fingernails into the quick.

Not looking after my eyesight.

Not polishing watches before photographing them
