Fred called and thought a quick breakfast was in order so I drove south, Fred, Stan, and Joji drove north, and we met at one of Ky's finer establishments.

We instantly set to laying out all the loot [Joji's and Fred's hands were moving so fast, it was a blur]
Many brands on display:
Rolex/ Tudor [of course]
Omega
Hamilton
Sinn
Tag Heuer
Pierce
Seiko
Luminox
Orient
Marathon
[L to R] Fred, Joji [picking Fred's pocket], dP, Stan the Tudorman.
No two snowflakes are alike.
Fred was struck w/ nylon fever, finally deciding on the black Maratac.
Special thanks to Fred for his generous gift. Fred, before customizing it for the Tudor I decided to try it on the SAR as is. Love the way they look together.

Great to see you boys, we'll do it again soon.

...AND, the couple in the next booth were kind of awe-struck.

...when we were leaving, one waitress asked if any were for sale....well now, what a question!

Looks like fun! Like the pile of watches, and all the straps, too!

Any chance you can post some pix of the waffles? LOL. Needless to say, there are no Waffle Houses in France.

Prince · 2 May 2010, 08:57 AM

Good God, Dan! What a pile of watches!!!

Hey! Don't be knockin' da Waffle House! They make one of the yummiest, fluffiest omelettes this side of Denny's!

...SUPERB omelet, as, if my memory serves me correctly, Jogi and myself had those fluffy omelets!

...Fred........well, he ate MORE than the other 3 of us put together!!

Speed · 2 May 2010, 09:02 AM

Nice shots!

Hope you didn't get any syrup on your watches...

sleddog · 2 May 2010, 09:15 AM

Really like the black and red strap on the Marathon Dan!!

Where did you locate that?? It's almost identical to my black and white stitch on my SD...

Hey thanks, Rob.

This was a generous gift from Fred.

We both thought it would look great with the red dialed Tudor chrono but that would also require some cutting to fit properly. So before any surgery I decided to try it on my SAR. Love this combo.
