Nope. Did not bring a camera. I am just not a picture taking guy but I know there was someone with a nice camera taking pictures, plus Scott took some. I guess I am just picture shy!!

It was a fantastic time and we got to see such wonderful watches at the store and many people brought watches to share. And we even got a goodie bag when we left!! Sheldon did a really awesome job setting up this Get Together with such wonderful people. I was honored just to have been able to attend!

I even found out that you were an accomplice to the Jake's Rolex Watch Blog.

Thank you Sheldon for the outstanding job in putting this together!!

No need to worry, just invite JJ over. I heard JJ's sheep got too fat from all the good stuff in N.Z. so he started to feed them diet coke!!

I would love to send you tons of pictures of me but I don't have any since I am camera shy!! Besides, you would not want a picture of an old decrepit man!! Would another picture of JJ be good enough?

Oh, BTW, I heard something happened to the camera of that person taking pictures at the GTG. For some reason, his camera mysteriously disappeared and by some weird coincidence, I found a really nice camera in my goodie bag!!

We like to be in stealth. Go in and out without being noticed!!

I thought there would be plenty of people taking pictures and therefore I did not think of taking a camera. Anyway, you can see the picture of me above!!

Here are the two pics I took. Maybe Jocke can work his magic. The first is the original Deep Sea and the second is a very rare Single Red Sea Dweller on the right. Unfortunatley they were kept in the case.
