Happy birthday to me
My birthday is coming up soon (monday). It’s a big one… it starts with a number greater than three and less than five and ends with a zero.
So… I decided to get myself something nice… how about a new watch!
All I’ve ever owned was a Timex. The most I’ve ever spent on a watch was $50. I decided it was time to upgrade a bit, so I purchased the Festiva 16011/5. I wanted something that was all stainless steel (my skin and whatever the metal a Timex is made of don’t get along too well… the metal loses) and showed the day and date on it.
This one worked just fine for me.
It was normally $125, but there was a sale… 25% off… and an additional 15% off on top of that (which made it much cheaper to buy it in the store than to get it online).
Sure… it’s not a Citizen, Seiko or a Bulova, but it’s also not OMG expensive.
I like it.

Happy Birthday!!!!! and thanks for making me realize that I am really really old….
Thanks for all the birthday wishes… I’ll post the wonderful gifts I got later on tonight!
Congrats on the B-Day and the watch. Festina makes some good pieces (I’ve owned one or two in the past…along with 50 or so other watches). I’d say they’re comparable to Seiko and Citizen (both excellent brands as well with a very, very deep product line, the coolest of which is available in the Japan market only); I know Festina is really big in Europe (inc. France and Italy).
Anyway…watches…the one topic I could talk to for hours…so I’d better go now…
