Icon10 Hail, Hail the Grail is Here.

Last year was a good year for me watch wise. Looks like this year is going to be better.

I want to thank all the usual enablers, Dr. Tom, Eric Chan and Larry (Watchwatcher) and the many others whose PM watches I used to drool over.

Credit for this one actually goes to Larry.

This past Saturday night I opened up his post to drool over his new BLRO. THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW. I had to have a PM.

Having bought a BLRN in November, I decided to flip my TT SUBc and went for the Smurf.

A special shout out goes to Sean Landsnaes who made the deal possible. It was truly a pleasure to do business with him.

I think I'd better slow down with the watch buying for a while or I'll be looking for a good divorce lawyer. image.jpg
Enjoy

I am a Smurf owner myself and love it. I also flipped the TT SubC to get the Grail.

Wholeheartedly welcome to the exclusive V.I.P. Smurf Club!

I'm just a little north of you in Long Branch, NJ. I should drive down through this snow to see this reference in person!
