The above shot was taken during a commercial break and both parties look like they're enjoying themselves quite a bit. Ellen is rumored to have a pretty major interest in watches in general and collectible vintage Rolexes in particular. It's an interest she's kept out of the spotlight by and large, but you can only be so under the ra
According to USPS, my first Breitling is supposed to arrive today!
The wait is killing me!! I can't wait! I've been on the hunt for this watch for over a year now but was distracted by my PAM purchase. And now I'm about to complete my humble collection, well, as far as I can foresee. I apologize in advance for my ranting.
