Really love the dial Bas, but does it have a ceramic bezel? Think I'd prefer an aluminium insert on that one.

Hi Ed, Big Congrats to you and Arleen on your upcoming 46th Wedding Anniversary and please give our best regards to your lovely bride. Pam and I in August(on the 19th as I really do remember) will be celebrating 36 years and I'm still amazed that she has put up with me for all those years.....

Take care.....Leo

As for the Tudor Black Bay, even tho the Red Bezel Insert is very nice from last year, I prefer the new Blue Bezel Insert...as blue is my favorite color!!!

Yep that's ceramic, aluminium would've been better since it's a 'vintage' style watch.

I agree with Wes regarding the aluminum bezel, however, this watch still does look very nice. I quite like the hands and the "back to the old style" look of the watch.

Well if that's not a quiet Coffeeshop then I don't want to know what one looks like...

What if the next round is on me? Shall I see more people around here?

Have a great day ladies and gentlemen.

Hi, Carl.

Are you going to work in the jewelry store today, or are you enjoying a bit of time off after finishing your schooling?

Working right away Lisa, we have a lot of work to do and I want to have more money as soon as I can. It may sound strange but allow me to add that it would mainly be to buy myself a fridge and an oven for my new apartment.

I also need to save as I'm moving at the end of the month and have a few things in mind that I'd like to buy soon enough. Obviously those things are more like luxury so I do not really need them but if anything I'd like to start saving now so I may be able to buy them in the long run without struggling because I didn't start working right away.

Ah, so you got a raise now that you're a certified watchmaker? Hope it was a fat one.

Where will you be moving to?

Today I was listening to some classic rock station and the noon contest was "Name three songs with queen in the title"
So I though - Little Queen by Heart
Mississippi Queen - Leslie West
The last one I had to search for "April Wine" songs could not think of the name of it to save my life...."Sign of the gypsy queen"
So I won a dinner for two and 25 dollar gift cert at Target...wow
Now that I think about it.... Mott the Hoople - Rock n Roll Queen......used that also

Well done, Greg. Congrats. At what restaurant did you win the dinner?

Just off the top of my head... Dancing Queen, by Abba. Killer Queen, by Queen.

I believe I may have not written this properly, I didn't get a raise but am working more hours so the pay checks are still bigger...

I already signed a lease for a new apartment and will move at the end of the month.

Congratulations Greg, you could also have said Little Queen Of Spades by Robert Johnson.

It's a shortbread, so we would call it a biscuit.
