Downing and I at our AD today. Downing with his brand new Seadweller and me with my brand new Explorer II...

and of course two Glenlivet Scotch on the rocks. Free of charge. Usually I go neat, but it was a hot day today.

We had a great afternoon drooling over Rolex!

Looks like fun, guys! Wish I was there!

USMCsilver · 25 August 2007, 09:53 AM

I've got some Glenfiddich in the cabinet and thought about having some this evening. However, I did wings and beer earlier, so it'll be cheap-ass bourbon and Coke!

I still can't believe you get good scotch and watches! Bastard!

You gotta love it !!!!!

Jeff · 25 August 2007, 09:54 AM

wow I need to find a new AD. How good is that an AD that serves booze.

Gaijin · 25 August 2007, 10:07 AM

Funny...Downing borrowed a loupe and stared at the etched crown on the crystal of his SD for 5 minutes!

Tombstone · 25 August 2007, 10:14 AM

Very good, I was in meetings all day so no Glenlivet for me.

Robb · 25 August 2007, 10:59 AM

Looks like a fun day!

Downing · 25 August 2007, 11:22 AM

Hey, who's that good looking guy in the white shirt--oh wait, that's me!

Yup, that was fun. I think we have the best AD in all the land.

Unfortunately we had to leave a little early as Tom's figured out that every time he's bought a Rolex it was on his second Scotch. So we had a self-imposed one Scotch limit today.

Which is just as well because if we had stayed for a second drink I might very well have walked out the door with that gorgeous TT Black Sub. At this point, the AD knows I can't even pretend I'm not interested anymore.

Looks like you guys had a great time.......

Lol-x · 25 August 2007, 12:00 PM

Seems like your AD knows how to do business.
Good times

I'm stuck in Cleveland for another week with a Grand Marnier in hand [hope that's spelled right]. Wish I was with you guys. Great to have TRF members get together [for medininal purposes only

Yeah, I once visited the "Oyster Bar" of Harrods in London. I believe that is the concept Kansaivets Rolex Oyster AD is trying to copy

Earl · 26 August 2007, 01:11 AM

A good AD sounds like...... get you drunk on a good Scotch and you buy new watch! good trade his part I'd say!!!!

Blue Bull · 26 August 2007, 01:17 AM

You wont believe,I last drank whisky in 1995 ....It was during the world cup semifinal ,which the Sprinboks won very narrowly against the French .End of the first half I finished a 3/4 bottle of Johnnie Red ........ you can imagine the outcome !!! The next edayb EVERYBODY was very,shall we say, displeased with me,that included our dog.Apparantly he was tackled frequently during the second half .....

I prefer a good brandy now

ROGU808 · 26 August 2007, 03:06 AM
