I'll be hopping in the 997 Friday morning, putting the top down, and heading out at speed.
Would participants mind if I brought a couple of non-Rolexes? Lange and Patek maybe? I know many guys here are absolutely against moding their watches, but would it be OK if I brought a DLC/PVD TT Sub or Heritage chrono? I've never attended a GTG before, so I'm reaslly looking forward to some interesting discussions and displays. See ya'll soon. |

Day 1:
Cough my 8 am flight without issue, after working 8p to 6a. Still going strong on 36 hours w/o sleep. Smooth connection in Dallas. Relieved to have my checked backs in baggage, this doesn't always happen. Rental Car is horrendous, checked in at local hotel. Spent some time visiting my Great Aunt, and Great Uncle. Ate Prime Rib for dinner. Reviewed, prepared for lectures tomorrow. Good night!
