Fun at the AD - like back in the day when I liked Iron Maiden!
During the last couple of weeks the AD where I purchased my YachtMaster II has been graciously entertaining my questions and crazy watch-thoughts for which my wife is very grateful as I don't then have to bring all these insane ideas home to her.

Today I swung by there (again!)..... And wanted to share some of the fun with you TRFs to give back for your patience with me and my crazy ramblings (have posted a couple of these pics earlier this week but thought it would be fun nonetheless)....

As Mike would say "heavy metal!... Heh heh heh".

Have a great evening.













Have a great evening!

Love the shots, Thomas.

Should we expect an incoming soon?

Thanks buddy! I like to keep TRF on its feet, but staying out for now my friend. I think I decided today that I will keep the YMII in SS... Be well.

Thanks Adam! Yes, I think it's the correct choice for me. I really enjoy that ref so why mess with it? That's my latest thinking in any event.

Beautiful pictures Thomas. That YMII in 18k is calling your name buddy be careful at the AD. That is a very dangerous place to go

Glad you made your decision, and the bonus is that it won't cost you more money! Keep posting pics, my friend. Love your collection!

Haha... True my friend.

but am afraid the "bonus" is that I get to apply the difference to the next reference I already have my eye on! Looking at 1655s recently....
