Great to meet our aussie mods

Hi Guys

I was in Melbourne a few weeks back and caught up with Lol-x and Gedanken.

I had a great time and they both took time out of their busy schedule to hang with me and show me around the watch shops. Steve pointed me towards Rolex PTY where i got some free catalogues and they adjusted my daytona bracelet while i waited and watched the Rolex Techs work through a glass window!

I had an awesome time and much respect and thanks to Steve and James.

Even when he's smiling James looks as though he's ready to rip your heart out.

Hi Don
I don't think that photo angle does me much justice

Anyway, it was so much fun catching up and visiting a few of watch shops. Maybe we can do it again when you return some day

Too late Steve. It's now out in the "ether".

Just wait until Jocke gets to grips with this pic.

Is he brave enough, though?

Yeah, you should see me when I'm really browned off!

It was great meeting you, Don - let's definitely gather the posse next time you're in town!
