Nice pics JJ. Good on you for spending time with the grandkids but i think a GMT II Coke would have matched your shoes better. Haha.

We do get quite a few beers here, but maybe not ALL of them. So I guess we do miss out on certain brands.

JJ, your next Rolex...

Should be a classic GMT Master II with Wine and Black bezel (Coke). It would go perfectly with your bowling outfit!

You are too lucky a man JJ. Your smile and your family says it all. You cherish life from every pic I see from you, and frankly from being here at TRF for not too long, I truly think of you as a cherished friend! Thank you for sharing your happiness with us all ol Pal
and that beer looks mighty tasty. I had Tiger last time I was in China and was oh so smooth going down :)
Tonight I got Alexander Keiths from our little ol Canada. Common but throughly enjoyable!
Best wishes
Daniel from Vancouver

Time with the Grandkids is precious. Your smile must have lit up the bowling alley. Looks like everyone had a great time.

I'm constantly amazed at your zest for life - and all things Rolex! As I've said before (in another thread) , although I've only been on TRF for a month - when I grow up, I want to be JJ!
