Why the hell did I go and buy myself
another one of those bloody loud tickers? I had promised myself not to buy another OQ
but then this beauty turned up to a price I just couldn’t look away from. It
had recently been given a proper gasket service and was in a great condition. I
mean, who can resist the combination of blue and gold? Its stunning looks
simply made me forget about the noise it gave off. This watch really meant some
serious business. It was so beautiful. A perfect summer’s watch!

I received it with no box or papers. I
don’t even know which year it was from. But it was easy to sell and was gone
like that when I put it up for sale. I only had it for a couple of weeks in
August 2014. That was enough to once again make me realize that looks isn’t
everything. It’s the inside that matters. I simply couldn’t overcome the loud
movement it housed and believe me when I say I tried!
