The Story Behind This Watch

Mandy and I were out shopping at Wal Mart for Mom’s Day. BBQ time so we had to pick up some supplies. She also went to look for some piece of jewelry for her sister, who was having her first Mother’s Day as a mother. Naturally, as Mandy wandered around the jewelry section, I had to browse the watches. Of course I did. Well, this Armitron caught my eye. It reminded me of a watch someone had posted on the Poor Man’s Watch Forum (naturally) that they had bought from The Watch Station. An Arnette, I think it was. So, for the heck of it, I picked this one up. It’s fun. The backlight fades out, which is neat. And it is easy to read. So for $20 and change, I have no complaints.
