Fa' shizzle ma nizzle
The guy who sold me my new watch was so impressed by the fact that someone young could be interested in moldy old mechanical watches that he gave me the chains as a favor. So now I can start using it straight away. It's 5 cm (2 inches) in diameter, and weighs surprisingly lot. It has a very healthy and steady tick, and it's been keeping time impeccably since noon yesterday with one winding. It's simply beautiful.
The silly thing is though, that, being something of a fetischist, I bought myself a watch that's pretty much as big as pocket watches come. So when I went to see how it'd look with my waistcoats, it's actually hulking enough to peek out of the tailcoat vests pocket... Though, in its defense, those pockets are ridiculously small!
So I'm bidding on yet another watch, one that's only 3,6 cm in diameter, a cute little silver Breguet. The auction closes tomorrow. If I get that, those will be my watches, and I won't be splurging on any more of them. Although... They're so cute! But I'm too broke!
Means I'll start splurging on chains. I looked up the guy auctioning his chains, and I'm pretty sure that despite the starting price and minimum bid being 1 euro, he won't be separating from them for anything less than 15-20 each. So I don't really even feel like bidding.
Yesterday my sister, who's blessed with a job, bought me stuff. Namely, 4 lovely shirts and a waistcoat that makes me look like I'm about to either give a lecture or shoot an elk. In short, it's awesome. I love my stuffs, but it would make me infinitely happier to be able to pay them myself... Sadly, if I want to be a scholar, I never will.
Also, what's with my lj being about mens attire these days? Not that I'm complaining, because at least writing about mens attire keeps the sponsored links that appear whenever I'm not logged in interesting. I'm sometimes tempted to click them myself (especially the Men Must Have Accessories -link). That's got to be better than the other option, i.e. that other thing I sometimes rant about. Hint: I mean porn.
To cap this off, what the hell am I doing!
