Henki Shares His FAVORITE Summer Watches!

Is a post that you will NEVER see on Henki Time ; )

But with that being said, what I thought I might so is share one of the coolest watches that I once owned, one that is still available from Gorilla -

This is the RS White from Gorilla's Fastback collection. It originally came out some time back, but for me it still epitomizes what is really cool about the Gorilla brand. I bought mine back in 2019 from Watch Gauge, if memory serves me correctly. I wore it quite a bit, but it was part of my collection that I put up for sale to aid relief agencies working in Ukraine following the Russian invasion.
