I know it was a long journey but I didn't expect you to have a sore botty.

Thought that was gonna be you pulling a moony Jocke

They could be empty OR they could be full of display stand paraphernalia. I'mmm. That would be lovely............

My guess is that those are just displays and that the watches have been shipped somewhat more securely, fwiw. Great photos, Jocke!!!

I think its leftover red seadwellers that was giveaways for VIP guests. I guess they overestimated the number of VIP guests.

Haha. For sure. The ridiculous size of the new SD, buyers better head down the AD with a forklift to pick it up.
