Dell Deaton

This is a picture of me that was done for my practice (though not the final one we used), in 2006. Rolex Submariner Date 16610 on my wrist, as it continues to be most frequently. This was before I managed to scratch its bezel, between the 35- and 40-minute markers, living too roughly, I guess.



Behind me is the grandfather clock that my Papa left to me when he passed away. It was his pride and joy. He's the one who really got me interested in watches; I wore his Elgin throughout college, then career travel across the U.S., in Europe, and a lot of Mexico, until I retired it when my son was born in 1998. (Papa was always eager to hear where his watch had been, regarding it as if he, himself, had been to these places.)

I think that's great.

By the looks of her, she's probably thinking, "What have I gotten myself into? At least he'll always be known as my 'first husband'."

Just messing with you buddy!

Here's one shot that I could find of me and one of my watches on taken last winter.





Here is me at a GTG in Vancouver, BC this summer hosted by L. Joel a TZ moderator and a GTG event consultant. I was wearing my Omega Deville Chronograph at the time.






Cheers;)
