The One That Got Away... Continued...

So it was a few years ago...
And it was what I think back on as the "in between time".  We had just moved to Santa Barbara and I was working at a university handling career services.  Meaning that I worked with graduates to help them find watches.  And as I had a day off I was revisiting the world of watches, most particularly checking out Dubey & Schaldenbrand.  And this one has haunted me ever since.  This is the CARRÉ CAMBRÉ CAPRICE 03
