After receiving this book in the mail from Joe I thought it was so nice of him and after thinking, (Don't say it..:) I came up with this idea.

Why not make this book a world traveling book?
So here's the plan.

I will send this book, along with the pouch of course to the person who PM's me his address.

A few stipulations: After reading it, (or not) the receiver must sign and date the attached paper and post a picture with his watch in the pouch, (doesn't have to be a Rolex) and send it off to the next person.

Should be fun to see how far it can travel, don't you think?

Something like this picture is what I had in mind.

Nah don't abandon this...it's a great gesture.

Just saying that you could also add your name to our list and sign the baby book for Mireyna's little girl!!!!!

Sure you can....

Just keep an eye open for when the next recipient of the book, (in this case Dan Pierce) posts his watch picture with the book and then simply just PM him.

In other words, whenever this thread becomes live again...
