I figure I would post them here since I have selected mostly Rolex related pics from my good friend Joel's report. All the credit for these wonderful pics goes to Joel.

First off, why is it that someone always has a camera handy when I act like an idiot. Man I really do look like that MIB Bug guy in this pic...

our good friend Pete here. SS Sub for life!!!!

Seadweller put to the test

Daytona with a very nice GO, those big dates are really nice.

Never leave home without it....

Now for some more watch shots.

Now here is a SS Chrono that puts my daytona to shame, what a gorgeous watch. There is a funny story to this, as we were ordering lunch somebody asked if there was a Watch menu. Of course being the smart ass I am I said yes and called the owner to bring me a Overseas Chrono for dessert (Its all Laurance Yaps fault for showing me the latest issue of watchtime where the watch was in an Ad) sure enough the owner came by his restaurant shortly after (he was at his watch store earlier) and I fell in love, I didnt want to give it back. I must get one one day, but I think I want a new one with the new bracelet.

Great pics, Roger

That VC is smokin

JJ Irani · 27 September 2006, 04:34 AM

Excellent pictorial, Roger. Yes, the VC is a superb watch, especially the bracelet which is like armour plated steel!!!

Thanks for the tour!

RogerF · 27 September 2006, 04:35 AM

Trust me, I want that VC bad now. I think it may have taken top spot on my "What to buy next" list.

Pete · 27 September 2006, 04:42 AM

Pete

I was in Watch shock when I went outside to talk on the phone and came back to find my Daytona was gone

I knew that someone in our group had it but it was funny as no one saw anyone take it

SWOS · 27 September 2006, 06:05 AM

Cool Picx Roger!! i really liked the watch that has the black leather strap... n of course the Daytona!

:>

roadcarver · 27 September 2006, 06:21 AM

Pete told me that you and him were going for a skype talk.

I had asked him to find out from you how the sheep were doing today

Hmmm, armour plate is made of steel, so you are saying it's like steel plated steel?

Pete

Don't you mean mano a mano a sheepo? It would be a 3-way conversation. To JJ, sheep are like an Amex card - he doesn't leave home without one!

27 September 2006, 07:44 AM

Looks like a good time - thanks for posting. The VC is a nice one!

Pete

Yes you did shock me!!!!

But I wasnt too worried since it was only our crew with us, and that is why these meets have to be invite only. Newbies must have someone that will vouche for them.

wonghonchung · 27 September 2006, 10:22 AM

Looked like you guys had fun. Too bad I was spending that day tutoring younger kids in Mathematics.

djemmtee · 27 September 2006, 12:20 PM

nice pics roger, sd in the ice water was the best one.

Rockrolex · 27 September 2006, 12:38 PM

Great pics, Roger. That VC is one smokin' watch. I can see why all of a sudden it's shot up to the top of everyone's wish list. It's certainly made it to mine.

wonghonchung · 27 September 2006, 12:45 PM

Sorry to say, but I don't feel the love for the VC, I just don't like the bracelet. I prefer the newer one because of the Maltese cross bracelet, but I will agree thw clasp is a winner on the old one. I just think the bracelet and case on the old one are just too "ordinary". Nevertheless, it is still very beautiful.

I agree, thats why I said when I am ready I will get a new one.
