David brought a few of his stunning watches to share with me, including a few vintage Seikos. At that time I had been looking into vintage Seiko divers so David tutored me on vintage Seikos - then took one from his collection and offered it to me...
I was stunned (still am) with his generosity and wear "our watch" weekly.

By the way, I recently gave a sweet little Caravelle diver from the 70s to a young budding watch enthusiast in my office. I knew he would appreciate it and waked to his cubicle one morning and handed him a suede pouch with the diver. He loved it and I felt wonderful! Below is the Seiko and Caravelle.

It was my honor Russ, it was a blessing to meet with you and I am thankful you messaged me to let me know you were in town. Hope we can do again in the near future. The 6309 looks wonderful, love the bracelet my friend

Great to see such giving people on TRF :)
