My kid brother saw a pic of this last Summer. He really likes it. So I went surfing the web for it. Sold out every place I looked and I told my brother I would find him one.

He is 12 years my junior. And he is also a good friend. He looked out for me big time this past Winter when my health condition took a very bad turn for the worst. I was out of it for about a good 9 to 10 weeks.

I asked IW ( Marc) last Summer if he could get ahold of it being a Arbutus dealer. Well it took awhile but he came through for me. I won't tell my brother yet. It's going to be a "For the sake of because" gift for him. This will be like the 6th or 7th watch I've given him in the last 10 years. Now my older brother he would be lucky if I were to even give him the time of day if he asked.

When I get it and open it I'll take a live pic before I wrap it up for him.

This is the link he first sent me of it.

Hey Skip - well done on both fronts. One, cos you have at least one brother who has your back. Two - cos you're a generous dawg who shares the passion. I can see the look on YOUR face when you see the look on HIS face the day he gets it, and finds out the trouble you have gone to for him ;).

Its good to have you back - fit and well. 

The only thing as good as getting your own grails is giving something special to someone else!

Rock on, dawg! IanMThumbsUp02.gif

Hay thanks IanM and I can't wait to see his face. His girl friend almost started to get it from Japan she is from there. I told her I could beat the price and bypass customs too I just had to wait. LOL :cool:

Tony and Pax thank guyz your making me blush... Not have you ever seen a Dawg blush. LOL :D

Thank Ken and your right. My doctors have been telling me that for a decade now. I was born in the AZ maybe I should get me a Winter place there some day. Love the state. :) ;)

Thanks Scott. I'm the lucky one. I got to help raise him when he was a Teen with his dad. Our mother passed back in 1979. Part of the reason she had given me up for adoption years earlier. She was sick. Got well had my brother and got sick again. One of the best things to ever happen to me was to discover I had a living blood relitive and a half brother at that. :)
