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.

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
