And the winner of that stunning Nakaya pen is..........kiss my.......LOL!!!



Hi guys,

We had a terrific mini-GTG last night - it was just the big boss (Steve), Mark (crtlover) and yours truly.

Mark was the odd man out with his Baume & Mercier, but the good news is that he's on his way out of NZ Customs this morning and picking up his brand new TT BLUE SUB Ceramic which he bought from one of our local AD's.

We had a great time, some fabulous Indian food..........and we spoke about everyone on TRF - well almost everyone!!

After dinner, I picked out 3 numbered balls from the steel bucket - first prize followed by 2 consolation prizes. Steve has all those pics on his camera, including the lucky winning numbers, so I'll let him do the honours at some later time......in all fairness!!

Some pics......



This one was just the mixed platter entree.......delicious!!



The main dishes, chilli chicken (for me) on the left and chicken korma for Steve!!



Mark ordered mango chicken....



Mango Kulfi for dessert.......yummy!!



And our 3 watches.......and you should know who's who!!

Looks like a good time, JJ!

Off to get lunch now - those pics made me hungry...

Sounds like a good ground for a joke - 'Two Kiwis and an Aussie walk into a restaurant...'

It was a 5 star restaurant in Paris, France.

The aussie immediately puts his linen napkin around his neck.

The maitre' D notices it and tells a waiter to alert the aussie that it's not proper behaviour, but in a discret way.

Waiter walks over and says: Shave or haircut?

One was a Tosser, so the other two left!

That looked like a great dinner.

When I hit the lottery and I should anytime now, I will be coming to New Zealand for the next gtg. Either that or my wife will have to loan me the money so I can do it right.


That food looks really good too.

Hi Peter,

I thought it looked simply superb. I loved the green crystal tint which splayed itself all over the white dial. What a grand looking effect that had. If only the watch had a date!!

Cheers - JJ
