Quite the whirl wind trip. Got to work early, busted out some things, jumped in the car and drove from just north of Baltimore to Philly. Fought the down town traffic and paid $24 for about an hour of parking
Met with George and now I am back.That is the second time I have been in the store but the first time meeting George. Super nice guy, if you are at all within driving distance or vist Philly I highly recomend stopping in. Great selection, very nice store...I did get just a slightly snob-ish feeling from the few people working the floor when I asked for George. They wanted to know if "he was expecting me" in a pretty condecending tone. But I am pretty high strung when retail people give me some 'tude' so maybe I am over sensative to that. George, on the other hand, is top notch. Took all sorts of time with me, let me try on anything I wanted, knowing full well there was no way I was going to buy some of them.
I always laugh when I see the term Grail watch, but I think I just might have one now. Nothing crazy over the top like some of the beauties we see posted here, but the Transocean chrono B01 limited edition chrono, black with white subs might have me planning some late night raids on liquor stores and gas stations.
Every aspect of that watch is killer, and made me like the mesh bracelet even more. I am sure by the time I would save the $$$ for that and build up my watch capital with the Mrs. they will all be long gone. Much like the Avenger Code Yellow was in 2010/11. For roughtly the same $7K I think I might take it over a Explorer 2, which I really fell in love with when I tried it on.Anyway, long winded post...but if you get the chance surely stop in and give the store the once over.
