I tried to be fair and reasonable. Of course, I can see if I was standing up for my clients Constitutional rights -- that some over-zealous law enforcement agent(s) might think that I was being tough. If you know what I mean.... interesting that our paths cross again. So, by the way, did you post your story about collecting watches?

It was the first part of my post. I did not mean to offend you Jim. It was ment to be a compliment, that you did indeed fight for your clients. best regards, Joe

I thought I'd pose this good qn to someone older and wiser; my dad. He used to dabble in watches when he was a young exec. Now he's more into high-end cameras. He has only one everyday watch now, a 2 tone GMTII which he bought in 1997, celebrating his first regional directorship (when we still had a manufacturing industry to boast of). His watch is his daily companion and reminds him of what it took and what he stood for when he made the job, values he still lives by today. He was only 43 then, not bad for a poor village boy from Malaysia who had to work right after O-Levels to help support my uncles. He had always wanted that particular GMTII with bronze dial and the gold bezel, and had waited till he'd got family priorities right before making the plunge. The next watch he'll buy will only be when he retires, and he's already decided on a Nautilus. I think the man deserves it, a great friend and father! That, he says, will just sum up his work as a businessman and father, and mark the beginning of his golden years. Last edited on Tue Jun 16th, 2009 11:28 pm by JKang |

Jonathan, the Nautilus is a superior addition to a collection especially if it is to define a collection. I was eyeing that copper/gold/steel GMTII many years ago in the past but somehow I saw it as a faded, inferior design. Now that I'm older, I regret not snagging that one when it was much cheaper.

Flogged off Photobucket, but this is the same model. Gets nicer with time 'cos the dial gets a bit more copperish and the dial print "sits into" the dial more, than when new. I've tried it on, but alas, my skin tone is too fair to set it off nicely. I do better with black dials.

The great thing about the Jubilee bracelet is that dings, swirls and scratches are not easy to spot/notice. Story would be different on the Osyter bracelet where swirls, dings and scratches are for the whole world to see. Can you "swipe" a Nautilus photo, Jonathan and post it here?yourock.gif

Joe -- I was not offended, and appreciate your compliment. Strange indeed to cross paths at this distance, at this time. And all is good, as stated in PM, when you are ready to retire, come on out this way. Jim joecb wrote: It was the first part of my post.
