I had a cool email this am,
on: August 07, 2010, 04:07:43 PM
About 3 years ago i traded a lanico 1960's divers watch for another watch ,i really regretted it after, i was my first proper mechanical divers  watch , well after a very bad night at the dementia unit i came home a to a email asking if i was the guy who traded the lanico , he said he still has it and wants to send it back to me as knew how much i liked it,  :ahhh ive decided im going to buff the plexi crystal and give it a service and give it to coral my 10 daughter as its her Birthday on Monday plus as she has dispraxia finds telling the time hard and this watch has most of the numbers,i just wanted to share the good side of the internet as we here about the bad side a lot.I look forward to re-furbishing it and making it look nice for coral, thanks for reading,  :tu:
