A common interest

Met up with Tony (topcat30093) today, as he only lives 8 miles down the road. Great to have someone with his knowledge and shared enthusiasm of watches (and Audi's) so close to where I live...although the extra encouragement could turn out to be expensive in the not too distant future.

Tony's been looking into 1680's and hopefully he liked my red sub as much as I liked his Explorer, Seiko's and his gorgeous Patek Phillipe













Should've got some better shots of the Patek...couldn't have it stealing all the glory though

Thanks for the coffee Tony and sharing your great watches with me

Always great to have another person to share the passion so close by.

What a bonus that the watches are such great examples.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Dan, for the GTG, it was great to meet someone from this part of the country who follows our passion.

Your 1680 was stunning and has obviously been well looked after and appreciated.

Hopefully it will not be to long, before we can do the same again.

Cheers

Tony
