Your post reminded me of another article talking about Rolex as the best investment.  The whole article was based on data from Bob's Watches.  I don't blame the CEO of Bob's Watches at all, as It was his job to convince people that Rolex watches were great investment.  However, for the author of a prestigious financial media outlet to base the whole argument on one single source, that is just mind boggling.

Yeah, good food too!  I had to leave early to pick up my kid.  Wish we had more time to chat ;)

I agreed and the vintage Zenith caught my eyes too among many watches.  It is a relative small dress watch yet comes with a chronograph!

That will be so wonderful!  Look forward to the opportunity to meet you in person and attend the WC meetup.  I did enjoy very much going to the Windup Event in SF just last April.
