Went Boxing Day looking with mrs beken and kid today. I was so tempted to finally buy that wristwatch to commemorate my retirement when the jeweller offered to lop $1000 off the price of one of the watches on my shortlist. I was only trying it on to see if it was a comfortable fit on me.

You didn’t get it?

Thinking I'm still a few $ short until I sell the collector car. Then if I sell the collector car, I might have enough to get a more expensive worldtime watch. I'm not buying a watch based on price.
