Back from Hawaii...saw a lot of Rollies

Well, I am rested and tan after the annual 2 week family trip to Wailea where we swim til we drop. I brought my GMT ll and left the SMP Pro. I think that was OK but one day was looking at my watch while coming out of the ocean and the crown was out...not pulled out to the fiorst click thank goodness but just out to the winding mode. (I shall dutifully paragraph for JJ)

No water got in there it seems and the watch runs great so those seals hold even when banged by waves and out to the first notch...you know what I mean, just out to where you can wind it, not to where you can set the time.

I saw some gorgeous watches at those illustrious Hawaiian shops....I think that rose gold is beautiful in both the jubilee and oyster bracelets.

I also let my wife schedule me spa treatments at the Grand Wailea where we stayed for the last 3 days. It has, as you may know, a spa that is world renowned.... a spa that could turn me into a woman. I was massaged by a girl who looked as well as smelled as good as Catherine Zeta Jones. Then this Hawaiian dude exfoliated my skin after dipping me in honey and rubbing me down with sea salts and orange peel. Then I sat in a spa with people of some significance whom you would all recognize and felt kind of funny wrapped in a white sheet like the ghost of the spa.....I looked like Elephant Man. I had some great conversations though

I saw three YM's on guys, a mid size one on a small Asian dude, and two regular sized ones on bigger guys. I saw at least 5 SS Subs, but no TT subs. I saw one SD with a jubilee bracelet on the plane and I thought that strange. I saw numerous DJ's as well. I saw one GMT ll Pepsi. Then I saw the watches in the shops.

I am beginning to really like the TT black and gold Sub a lot.......It is a great combination of bling and subtance......

So, I see JJ has made yet another acquisition....did he sell anything???
