I have a strange obsession with Timex watches. I’ve had it for several years now. Perhaps the seed was planted when I received one for Christmas when I was six — my mom wears it now. They make several styles that I'd gladly wear, especially the SL Series Automatic (which retails for only $275!):
While people may scoff at wrists donning affordably priced timepieces, I admire them. Timex makes some beautiful specimens and I strongly believe that wearing one is effortlessly and confidently chic. (To me, the true mark of a stylish person is one that makes original and unexpected choices and hits that balance between contrived and carefree.)
Style and opinion aside, here’s another reason to love Timex. Today only (September 28), when you vote for your favorite watch style the company will donate $1 to B.I.G. (Booby Innovation Grant), a fund created by the Boobyball — an annual fundraiser conceived of by The Society Girls Ashleigh Dempster and Amanda Blakley — in support of Rethink Breast Cancer and young survivors. As many of you know, my nephew is a survivor of cancer, and we have to do everything we can to eradicate this disease. Go here to vote: www.timex.ca/boobyball
Don’t get me wrong, I’d throw my Timex over the Grand Canyon if someone offered me a Rolex. But here’s the thing: the Timex would still be ticking after plummeting to the ground. I like that! And I LOVE a good cause.

I have had more comments on my Timex "grandfather" watch (as I fondly refer to it). So many people have asked me where it's from, and they are always shocked to see the Timex logo. It's a basic white oversize face with a gold rim, and thick dark brown leather band. For only $40 bucks, and paired with some simple gold bracelets, it's perfection!
Great reeading your post
