Rolex/Tudor de Milano
Our vacation in Italy ends in Milan. So while visiting the Duomo we got a chance to stop at a nearby AD, Rocca 1794.
   Got a chance to examine the Ducati and Fastrider chronos, very nice.     Unfortunately, no Pelegos or Black Bay.  However, it was an amazing experience thanks to our friendly and knowledgable salesman, Andrea. He made us feel welcome and was eager to talk all thing watches. Also said I was lucky to own the classic Pepsi GMT as he get calls from clients wanting to know if any are available.I followed that with a fine Cohiba Siglo I and a few cold ones.    The icing on the cake? Stumbled upon the 2012 Giro d' Italia trophy!  Ciao, dP

 But strangely that was the only indication of The Giro we saw in Milan. I reviewed the race highlights on my computer while in Milan and found out the Giro road right past us while in The Ciinque Terre. That's why the helicopters were buzzing above. Headed home in a few hours. dP

Thanks for sharing Dan.
I was right there where you are photographed 10 or so years ago. that indoor shopping centre (I think it was called the Opera) was amazing right in the heart of Milan next to the town square. I love Italy and the Giro is an expression of Italian cycling passion.
