Mini get together featuring Yazo and the Frogman

[Frogman4me]

Met up with a fellow member Sunny aka Yazo to go watch hunting on a seasonably warm November Saturday and what a great day it was.

If you didn't already know Sunny recently acquired a 6263 Daytona which I have been dying to see and he graciously let me handle it throughout the day which was the highlight of the day.....well accept what happen at Tourneau which I will explain later. I would like to add that Sunny is a great guy, down to earth and fun to hang out with and a guy who knows his vintage watches. His 6263 is one of the finest examples out there!

Moving on, we went into Georgetown and met John a friendly vintage dealer who offered a 1680 red which was in great condition but I forgot to take photos of it so sorry guys. But we did find a few other watches, enjoy...

Sunny's amazing meters first 5513 with an awesome faded bezel insert and 9135 bracelet
















So back to the Tourneau story, well on our way out I happen to see a 5513 meters first sub sitting in the window so we walked back in to check it out. Condition was good and it had a new 91350 bracelet which was ok I guess so naturally asked how much? She flipped over the tag and calmly said in a straight voice its $13,500.00. I looked at Sunny and we both chuckled and immediately Sunny asked if they would buy his 5513 for anything close to that price which made me laugh even more. Well she brought over what appeared to be the manager and he took a photo of the watch and took Sunny's information and proceeded to tell us it could be worth anywhere from 2k to 13k. Bottom line Tourneau has no idea about vintage watches...



























The day would not be complete without seeing a F430 Ferrari
