So I’m not into soccer at all. I would say that my interest is on par with that of the Olympics. I don’t follow curling, but when it was on in Sochi, I watched the hell out of it. There is a part of me that feels bad that I can’t get into soccer…maybe it’s because ESPN is trying to shove soccer down our throats. Maybe it’s because the US team is good, but won’t really compete in the World Cup. Or maybe it’s because the rest of the world calls it ‘football’. Whatever; I feel like a hater.
Regardless, our international friends over at Smart Turnout know how to celebrate:
I have a great collection of Smart Turnout straps, and even though I’m a Panerai guy, I still wear my old Omega with their straps all the time. What’s great about these World Cup edition straps? They’ll still be in style after they are done playing in Rio…
Two things – just wait for the soccer nuts to read this post…..oh, boy. I will watch World Cup if 1. Golf isn’t on 2. Racing isn’t on 3. Football (real) isn’t on. 4. If I need an excuse to drink before noon.
Secondly – love canvas watch straps but I cannot find any with gold hardware vs. silver. If you have a gold plated Omega (or other), silver hardware doesn’t look great with it. Any recommendations?
