That knowing smile...

I was at the football yesterday, and since I was carrying a large drink and a programme in my left hand, I had both some pepsi, and my Pepsi on show ;)

I noticed someone's eyes staring out from the crowd of spectators and then smiling at me.. At first I wondered if perhaps he recognised me from somewhere. Then I noticed the large and lovely new ceramic Deepsea on his wrist. Was nice to share a moment with a fellow rolex enthusiast, hasn't really happened to me before

I was at Eastlands yesterday with the 116613. I was edgy about taking it to the match, you never know. Think I will keep the Steve McQueen for match days.

Awesome, would have been hilarious if he had a coke GMT and gave you a dirty look and then laughed...
