Quick Stop: Select Orlando and Meet with Dan
Today I had an opportunity to stop by and visit DavidSW's B&M in Orlando and meet with Dan.
Dan is a very interesting member who knows a ton about the industry and is a big Rolex enthusiast. In fact when I asked him what his favorite brand was without hesitation he replied Rolex. Also, I got to check out some very unique pieces which was incredible fun. We spoke about many things and I learned a lot. Very appreciative toward Dan for speding a little over an hour with me. During the conversation I learned that he, like myself, is a surfer. Always interesting to learn what members enjoy outside of watches. I am hoping to set up a larger GTG in Orlando at the end of January 2019 so more members can spend time together at a lunch. Below are some shots I took while there. I want to give a big ty to Dan and David for the hospitality. Both are class acts and an asset to the forum.  20180727_140813-640x1138.jpg 20180727_150618-1024x643.jpg 20180727_150531-698x1199.jpg 20180727_152404-1024x599.jpg 20180727_150559-774x993.jpg 20180727_152958-1140x743.jpg 20180727_152335-641x1053.jpg

Very cool, I have not visited David's new shop yet, only the old office.
Keep us informed on the Orlando meetup, I’ll definitely join in. |

Dan is a cool guy, David too. I meet them twice and unfortunately never deal with them because it's too much problems to buy from USA for me.

Looks like a great meeting Eliot.
Both Dan and David are stand-up guys. Best in the biz.

Very cool. A few weeks ago I was watching something on YouTube and it was interrupted with a DavidSW ad. I was like, wow!! Rather than skipping it I watched the whole thing. But before it ended, my wife snidely chimed in, "Are you looking for another watch?" Even she knows DavidSW.
