First Fukuoka GTG

[Kokyuryoku]

Kia ora everyone,

Last Sunday my wife and I met up with Tom (a.k.a KansaiVet) and his girlfriend for some friendly watch viewing and then some ramen (Well Tom and I were looking at watches anyway, the girls were just looking at us and shaking their heads and calling us watch nerds .) Tom took us to some great hidden away watch shops. I got to see the famous Space Dweller and even a few Paul Newmans, which was a first for this rookie. We tried on quite a few, most notably was the Platinum Day date II, now that thing is HEAVY and a BNIB SS Zenith Daytona with a black dial and all the stickers still intact, only $20,000! We saw a lot of really good prices. Sorry I can't be more explicit as to what we got to see, I'm still learning and appreciating. Looks like I'll have to go back do some more research, damn . Anyway hopefully, Tom will chime in and expand on our experience and explain some of the many cool models we got to see. Here are a couple of photos. Sorry no photos of the watches , with all the excitement I totally forgot, my bad . Next time I'll get shots of all the cool ones I promise .

1 The watch nerds (as the ladies kept calling us) in front the shop which had the zenith,
2 The watch nerds in front of the raman stall and a crazy man eyeing our watches.
3 In the ramen stall with the ladies.

Enjoy
