...Hello Everyone
Just back from a visit to Europe ..where...
1. My daughters live and work (London, UK). I am an American-Greek father I got to give them directions even at 30...  ...Control Control Control... 2. Attended my quarterly vintage watch show (Munich, D). Wow...many collectors from Japan, China and England, the Italians were on vacation so not many there. 3. Then flew to Greece Took my father to the island of Mykonos for a tatoo...?? Did you just ask what did he forever marked himself with..??? Dig this guys...a stilleto going through a red heart with my mothers name in the middle...thank god it was my mothers name and not the name of some flusie. Anyway my disapproval did not stop him...he said...at 91 I can do what ever I want...  Ohh..before I forget I managed to bring back these:

A great story. I wonder if you have any of your dad's character?
I love the 168000 by the way. Wouldn't mind one of those myself. Cheers - Simon |

Sounds like the perfect 'watch vacation', especially as you got that GV, that of itself would have made it an awsome trip if I were you.
 Your father must be a real dude

Perfect watch vacation....with indeed a GV in tow. Casadecamporolex I am glad to be back Lovey, My father only owns 2 watches, a rose Le Phare chronograph and a white gold Patek Calatrava. DSJ I wanted to hook up with Frostie David, but the mayor of Thessalonica where he lives, declared me, "persona non grata"... |
