At the bar and the guy next to me is wearing a....
I was at a German bar here in Philadelphia with my wife enjoying a few beers. There were plenty of available seats at the bar but a very loud group sat right next to us. The man directly next to me was particularly irritating and I turned to let him know, when I spotted on his wrist a beautiful explorer II 16750. Instead of starting an argument I was caught staring at the watch that I hope to purchase next. He realized at the same moment how much of my space he was encroaching on and gave me more room. He said sorry and I said thank you and nice watch and he said thanks and that a lot of people do not notice what it is. I said that I always liked the way the explorer II looked and we sat enjoying our beers.
