Time for a New Time Piece

posted in a little bit of everything |

Almost ten years ago, my husband gave me the watch I currently wear as a Christmas gift. I turned 47 years old today and this is only the second watch I’ve ever owned. Considering that my husband is a watch collector, this is probably a bit unusual.

Last summer I started thinking about getting another watch. I absolutely love the watch I have, but it’s a dress watch. I’d like to get something sportier, particularly when I’m doing things outside. The watch I currently wear has a leather band, something I don’t like when it’s hot and 95% humidity in the summer!

My very first watch was a Seiko Watch and I wouldn’t mind having another one. At bluedial.com I was able to look at over 70 ladies watches available and made by Seiko. They’re prices are awesome too, some are less than half the retail price! These are not used or previously repaired watches, but brand new watches. They’re not imitation either.

I don’t have a clock in my sewing room, so I definitely have to wear my watch when I’m working. My leather band tends to make my arm sweat when the temperatures are warmer, so I like the idea of a metal band. bluedial.com offers free resizing (a small fee if links have to be added) and free two day shipping. I might just have to buy myself a birthday gift!

    Happy BIRTHDAY! I love watches too. I like to collect them watches. Too expensive to do it too much though.

    Happy Birthday!
    I’m the opposite, all I have is a daily clunker watch (Casio F-stop!), and want something dainty for dress up.
    I saw such a beautiful Swatch! Ultra thin, with metal link band… I want one!

    Laurie – Thanks for the birthday “song”! My husband is actually out of town on business, so I treated my daughter to a dinner out with dessert as a bonus!

    jojo – I love my watch, I’d wanted it for a very long time and it’s a classic. I just would like one that can stand up to what I do outdoors, gardening, etc. :-D
