What's In The Box??????

So I decided to get an all SS watch since I think the TT Daytona looks too old guyish. No offense old guys.

After calling about 20 ADs



with Roman Jewelers in Flemington, NJ, it was a bit of a drive but worth it.

Hey, I'm sorry if you don't have the gravitas to pull off the gold look; maybe you will some day. Nice Milgauss; congratulations.

Congrats. It's a great looking watch. I liked the way you "rolled it out" for us in the picture sequence.

I also got my GMT IIc from them. They were excellent. NYC AD wouldn't bother to give me a second look.

Hey Mike I remember you suggesting an AD in the Americana once, what was the name of it again? Do you recommend it?

LOL funny you mentioned this, I went to London Jewelers @ Americana Manhasset on Monday 3/24/08 in search of my Milgauss, the sales person was a total smart ass to me. I don't know of it's how I looked or how I was dressed. (Jeans and blue thermals.) He basically said "No way your gonna find a Milgauss, so you should stop trying." < --------- Those were his exact words By The Way! If the sales person is reading this you can kiss my .

Hmmm I am biased now with my excellent experience at Roman Jewelers in Flemington, NJ the salesperson Gina and the rest of the staff were fantastic. I got free cheesecake and coffee.

Mr. Buckeye, I will say this, London Jewelers provides better service than the Big T, if you need to go local, go to Wempe. The Big T fuged up my links and screws when I got my Breitling sized there. London Jewelers has professional watchmakers who adjust the bracelets, so my GMT-C had perfect screws and links after adjustments.

Haha thanks bud, love the white face milgauss by the way, congrats. You should go in there wearing it and be like I'm ready to look now. Then moon him/her.

Thanks I plan to check both out...
