The Best AP Ever!!!!
As you know I celebrated my 40th birthday this past Friday. My wife threw the most amazing party for me and surprised me with this delicious amazing cake. The watch was actually working and keeping time accurately. The cake was chocolate with a delicious fondant and butter cream layer. My second surprise were some amazing 'Mariachis' singing all my favorite Mexican songs and then the biggest surprise of the night: my wife is taking me to BaselWorld 2013 at the newly renovated exhibition center and staying at the fancy Park Hyatt in Zurich for 7 days. I'll post more pics once we get the whole stock from the photographer that covered the event.

New Speedmaster arrived today!
My first nice watch ever was a Reduced Speedmaster which I sold about ten years ago. I have always missed having a Speedmaster in my collection and today one arrived back home Model: SPEEDMASTER MOONWATCH OMEGA CO-AXIAL CHRONOGRAPH 44.25MM 311.30.44.51.01.002I like how the display crystal catches the sunlight and lights up under the watch. Never seen this before.

5,000th Post with SOTC
What more is there to do on your 5,000th post than update everyone on your SOTC. Here's a brief pictorial of the current collection. I'm not sure what's next. I might hold out for the PepsiC when it comes to Rolex... I'd love to add a 5711 or a 5712 but who knows how long that will take...I've thought about a Patek. 5396R-012 also. I think I should consider a dress watch and that's one of my favorites. As my good friend Jerry Garcia once said, What a long strange trip it's been Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
