I like the look of it. I get an award for 25 years' service - this is one of the things I can select and my watch-mad buddy who started on the same day as me so has the same reward has just selected one of these. Or there are a bunch of other random products or I could get Amazon vouchers and pick something from there. I think I'd like to get something 'special' rather than fritter the amount away on buying coffee capsules or random essential cables off Amazon, which is what I might do with it otherwise.

“Jazzmaster”

Nice looking watch though (I like military style)

How the fuck are you at 25 year service?! Are you a lot older than I assumed or did you just keep on with your paper round?!
