A Blog To Watch prize

Post by cholmes »

As some may recall, I won December's http://www.ABlogToWatch.com Giveaway contest and the prize is a gorgeous Frédérique Constant watch. Until it arrived yesterday, I had no idea which watch I would be wearing. I will be writing a review for A Blog to Watch but in the meantime, I wanted to share with you guys the pictures, as I simply don't know anyone else who cares as much. :-)

An exciting amount of packaging and frufru surrounded the watch:

When I finally got it open I saw it was the classic Frédérique Constant "heartbeat" watch (model 315).

The bracelet was slightly oversized on me, making me feel sort of like a Lilliputian:

But I had the bracelet sized down this morning and really like the way it feels on the arm- heavy and solid but smooth.

It is large for my wrist, but I love it. I am so grateful to FC and to ABTW for the watch! I also really appreciate all your alls' enthusiasm.

Damn! And there I was about to hit the PM button! :lol:

Actually, I wasn't, but that is a seriously nice watch to win as a prize, Carolyn. Lucky girl, and once resized it looks great on you.

No, in fact, on second thoughts it looks awful on you and should be sent to me for safe keeping! :wink:

WELL DONE! Enjoy & wear in good health! :clap:

I don't think i've ever seen a bracelet that needed so much adjustment :lol: ...i can't help but think it would suit a nice,leather strap.

Not my cuppa personally (open hearts are amongst my watch dislikes) but well done indeed for winning it and i hope you get years of enjoyment from it :D
