Great Visit with SeattleAl

I have been casually looking for a 1803 in YG. Forum member and fellow PNW SeattleAl has a beautiful 1803 wide boy for sale and just happens that he is located on the way to a business meeting I had this week.
What a small world

One of the things I love about this hobby and this forum is the great people you meet. I had a tee time so did not get to spend as much time as I would have liked, but it was a real pleasure meeting Al and seeing his truly awesome collection. Nothing better than talking watches with a fellow WIS--especially one who likes vintage watches.

Foolishly neither of us took pictures, but I promise it did happen...

I found the 1803 too small for my current tastes; although it is a beautiful watch in mint condition. I will need to rethink my YG dress watch game plan. Might have to go modern on this one. I know blasphemy

Hope to meet up with Al again in the future. Cheers

We should do a PNW meetup. I'd be down, I can show off my weak collection of six :)

Lol, I only have 4 right now...

There are a few of us in the PNW. We will definitely need to put together a formal GTG.
