Ha ha, no, actually, it just turned out that way. Not intentional. That is, I didn't even think of the green sweater and white shirt matching the watchface when I put on my clothes this morning. I was just intending here to show off how I built my own accessory item from a cheap watch and a cheap strap.

Me, strange? Are we not the kettle calling the pot black or something like that?

So I have fetish-ed over this J. Crew Timex that costs $150. I found a $30 watch that is almost identical. I even took it in to show the manager of the nearby J. Crew and he couldn't believe it when I told him I got it at Wal Mart. To make him feel a little better, I bought a $10 "NATO" strap in his store and replaced the leather band the Timex came with the NATO strap--which I like a hell of a lot better. Got another NATO strap too for another $10. The great thing about these straps is that they're interchangeable so I can go with the orange or switch it out with the olive green.
