Orient Watch Giveaway! – CLOSED

July 12, 2011 By Chie

Hello everyone!

Recently my father came home from an overseas business trip and oddly enough came home bearing gifts.  I was really surprised because he doesn’t usually buy gives for anybody but this time he had some something for everyone.  For me he put enough thought in to pick out a nice little wallet and for my husband he got a self setting solar flared watch.  Andy doesn’t go out of his way to dress up or wear jewelry (although he use to wear all GOLD jewelries in high school! Thank God that phase has passed) but he does like watches and even more than that he likes gadgets so this watch with its cool little features was right up his alley.

Serendipitously, the folks from Orient Watch contacted me about a giveaway his interest perked up.  He looked at their site and was really into their mechanical watches for men.

I am also thinking about picking up a watch but that with the baby I don’t know, how long will the watch last before Kiko throws up on it?  But, that is neither here nor there.  What is cool is that the Orient Watch folks are offering a giveaway for a free ladies watch worth over $100.  So, ladies if you are interented in a free watch you have 3 to choose from:

BNQ1X003H – Red face
http://www.puritime.com/popupimg.php?PID=922
BNQ1X003N – Green face
http://www.puritime.com/popupimg.php?PID=917
BNQ1X003J – Blue face
http://www.puritime.com/popupimg.php?PID=921 

To enter, just leave a comment below in which one you like and I will have a random drawing in 2 weeks (will be closed on 7/26).  Also Orient Watch is offering my readers a 40% discount till  August 10th with a code “VivatVeritas40“.  I wish I could enter but I can’t 🙁
The giveaway is open to U.S. resident only!
