The other day, there was a post I responded to regarding the apparent photoshop work done to an auction piece (the $25k sale). I replied with my poor man's photoshop (MS PowerPoint) edit on my Siffert (Mickey Mouseffert).
The pic was probably too silly for this crowd, but, it got me thinking about my first wrist watch. I've always loved watches. When I turned 7 (I think, could have been 8), I got what I wanted SO BAD! It was a $12 Mickey Mouse watch, which was extravagant in my opinion!
So, after I did my butchering of the pic of my Siffert, I went searching and guess what I found? My first watch was in a box of small keepsakes. I didn't save a lot of stuff, but this watch made the cut. It's permanently frozen at 9:13 o'clock but still looks kinda cool. I'll be keeping this one.
