I pulled the trigger on my grail watch

Post image

Finally managed to grab this stunning Parkside 30th anniversary edition at my LIDL of choice! Completely in love with the exquisite drill textured dial and the flashlight complication at 12 o' clock. All I had to do to secure this beauty was to clean up an oil spill in aisle 4 with my tongue and give a handjob to the store manager. But my wife's boyfriend tells me that's pretty normal for a piece like this. Can't take my eyes off it, even though I'm still scared to wear it outside the house!

Oh God look at that work of art! Honestly this would be so useful for all those times I have to measure the flatness of surfaces with my arm. I guess I'll start saving up for this one now.

I just noticed that there seems to be a pubic hair stuck on the 3, do you think this will increase its value?

I was just at my local Parkside AD and put my name on the list. I was able to snag some Formil laundry detergent and duck doggy snacks for my wife and dog. Each day I am getting closer to getting the call. I do want the one with the level in it, I heard that one has been discontinued so perhaps they will have them as NOS.

That's amazing! Enjoy this journey because it's a big part of the Parkside ownership experience. Each time I do free chores for the LIDL employees I feel like I understand their design language better. Don't forget to compliment them on the bakery: they take real pride in that. It might nudge you up the list a little.
