In Soviet Union, watch winds you

In keeping with the ’80s theme around here so far, I just wanted to share a closeup of this watch. My friend Carla gave it to me long ago—it had no band and didn’t run. I resolved to fix those problems some day, and, well, it’s probably been fifteen years but I finally did it. I found a watch shop that looked like they could handle an odd piece, and they certainly did. The woman there insisted that I go with a red band, which violates my all-black-all-the-time philosophy when it comes to accessories, but you’ve got to admit that it just makes sense.
I loves me my throwback Soviet watch.

That's gotta be one of the coolest watches I've ever seen.

My envy is so total that I can't even compliment you. I am green from head to toe.

I don’t know what took me so freakin long to get the thing fixed. Everyone, say together with me: Thank you Carla, wherever you are.
