Fellow WIS with same interests

Just met a fellow in town to sell my old motorcycle gear from a craigslist ad. Noticed he was wearing a TT GMT master II on a jubilee. Wasn't planning on saying anything until he noticed my GMT. Then of course we started comparing. His was a "C" series. Mine is an "N" series. Pretty cool stuff. Even better that he bought my riding jacket and boots!
