Weekend Watch Check............

Seems like Mrs Tools has us scheduled for a weekend of pool parties and barbecues; starting with a Fish-Fry tonight with some friends who just got back with Alaska with 150 lbs of Salmon and Halibut..

This seems like a good sort of Fish-fry watch:



What are your plans........???

I am going to try to attend a Panerai new model release at the local AD here in Sacto, I don't have a Pam, so my GMT IIc may have to get called up!

No worries, Scott. If you can make it to the event, we can swap for a bit.

I'm full of bumps, bruises and scrapes from doing a 5 day regatta, so this vintage Tudor is appropriate for today. We're both showing some wear and tear.

I will start off with this one and then wear the RGM as it is screaming for a little wrist time


The RGM looks so nice in the Lexus which just made the top of the list for JD Powers for ten years in a row for mechanical reliability.



I am still in mourning for my TT GMT IIc which is at RSC getting repaired after a bad AD experience.



I gotta agree Mik; that is the best looking GMT IIc I've seen. It looks like you put in on a polishing machine for a daily buff job!

GMTIIc - check. I am now prepared for anything that might come by way - except falling off a boat into waters deeper than 100M.
