A few pictures of your trusty leader and his new watch ....

I figured you guys have been waiting for a picture or two of the new Daytona. I have been wearing it almost a week straight ..... poor Sub.

I can't thank Paul enough for turning my dream in to reality.

Beautiful watch, Mark. It's obvious you are thrilled with it, as you should be. You got a great watch at a great price from a great guy. What more could you ask for?

Sorry for the scare. It's a keeper for sure. I have been out of town all week on business and I just got around to snapping a shot of the watch.

And, of course, you KNOW I like it!

But... did you sell the Sub? Perhaps I missed that bit of info, being old and all...

Sure. I'll get back to you on that - sounds like a great idea. Now Mark, you really MUST be kind to your Sub (dare I say "Subby"? NAH!!!) and slip in some wrist time. I have to do that for my DJ - it gets very envious when I spend more time with the Sub or the Daytona!

Allan, are you turning nuts with my influence? I thought I was the only one who had an intimate relationship with his watches.....and sheep!

Yeah, I guess your influence has made me anthropomorphize my watches.

Oh lord, what could be next? Sheep? We don't even have any here (thank goodness).

...and the funny thing is we do have literally millions of sheep in NZ, but I see probably a few just once in a while when we leave the greater Auckland areas and move toward the country side.

I'd buy the coffee Ed but if you spilled some on yourself, you'd probably sue me saying something like "Well seeing how you purchased the coffee, it's your property and your property permanetly damaged me."

It sounds like Paulie's been down this road with a lawyer before.

Nice watch, Mark. Congrats! So Walnuts let you have it for only $5K over list? Nice one!

I thought 12K was a fair price. Maybe I need to re-think that ???

I'm sure a hugely marked up Datyona fits a whole lot better than a pair of concrete loafers.
