Alright folks... So Tourneau is having their annual sample sale in Manhattan on the west side. 9/6 - 9/11 Advertising steep discounts....and will have all brands.... So I guess the Tourneaus are sort of independent of each other because I called the one in NJ to get more info on the Manhattan one...and they had no clue....except to tell me they are having their annual sale on 9/4, but only 20-60%. So who's coming with me and maxing out their credit card?

thanks D! its a nice club to be a part of...i'd love to see a lumeshot of yours!

run run and go get one...i haven't been this excited over a rep in a while..

its a beauty....now u need its brother...the -02 Get the ETA day/date wheels...makes a huge difference!

@bruce: its an awesome strap, perfect for any flieger...and it came from a AWESOME member! I have to thank toadtorrent for turning me onto this watch...I enjoy it more than my long gone 3717 black dial...

@Stephane & other vacationers: any plans to attend the US Open?

ugh...i'm home now...i wasn't able to make it...i hope everyone had a great dinner! HOWEVER....we got a new puppy! He's the cutest thing in the world!

Hey B... Its 22mm...and its the longer length...which actually is a bit long for me...i have it on the very last hole,

@TT: LOL...I love that line...maybe I should I get RWG t-shirts made with that line...

STill this...

thanks guys.....its quite stunning in person...pretty much wearable out a box...i'm just picky about my ETA wheels... i got to give toadtorrent props for writing a wonderful review of this watch!

better pics added!

Ok..I'll send Vly my ph. number so I don't miss out on post dinner activities.... Does anyone need me to bring extra $1 bills for the strip club.....

The less talked about brother to the famous black dial pilot. Why I prefer this version? -you don't see it that often -no crooked marker issues -gorgeous silvery/white dial + nice factory AR = no additional AR mod The only thing I did was the ETA day/date wheels and added a Di Modell Chronissimo strap. The strap is wonderful for pilot chrono type watches...looks quite nice on the Sinn fliegers and such...

thank you all for your kind words...its a new day, but so very fresh...i can see the blood stain in the street from my window...i don't know why i'm torturing myself... my wife wants to get another female shih tzu for Pele ASAP (like today) from the same breeders, hoping for one that shares Dolly's genes... i don't know if i can handle bringing another one home...i almost feel like i'm replacing dolly and she is irreplacable...so perfectly pure...

Welcome Valerian...you'll find a wealth of knowledge as well as an amazing group of people... 5:28 am...and i can't sleep...i don't feel like I can even breathe....i see her everywhere in my home...

thanks guys for the words... i wrote the initial post right after coming back from the ER... i definitely don't blame my wife and she's tortured enough as it is on her own...when i said coming to terms i meant more on the lines of all the "Why, why, why..." that comes about from the initial shock... its been about 6 hours since it happened...and now the initial pain is replaced with an emptiness...kind of walking around and it hits you as you walk room to room, visualizing the way she would play...

Thanks D... Pele knows something is wrong...he keeps pacing around the whole place looking for her...its breaking my heart..

Appreciated T... and you're right...not much to be said...it just puts things in perspective when tragedy hits...

So a couple of weeks ago, my big brown 9 yr old chocolate lab had to be put down because of his spreading cancer. I was ready for this for a long time since he had been sick for a while. But I wasn't at all ready for tonight. My wife took our 2 shih tzus out for a walk... The older one is Pele and he's a grumpy little one...Dolly, our new puppy is a female and we bought her so that she could be Pele's companion and she's done wonders for his personality. His little angel... we always said she brought him out of his darkness. Anyways, for some reason my wife didn't leash Dolly when she went to other side of the street... a young couple approach her and she fled towards our apartment and in doing so a car driving much too fast rounded the corner and hit her. Its her instinct to run to our stoop. I heard screaming and I ran outside and there was my baby girl all bloodied...I scooped up her little body and went into hysterics. I have no idea why my wife brought her to the other side of the street nor why she wasn't on her leash, this is something I will have to come to terms with. In a flash our lives have been changed. I'm just remembering her right now...2 hrs ago I was sharing a nectarine with her and she was chasing marbles around our floor. Appreciate the moments you have with the souls that you love because you never know when they can be taken from your lives. She had this triangular head and when she sat down she would do a split...and look up at you with the cutest eyes....Completely headstrong and never listened to me...just would look up at me as to say, "I have you wrapped around my finger..." Oh...and she was a licker...would not stop licking every part of your face... Our shih tzus are like our children...and to have a baby taken from you...I don't wish it on my worst enemy...My little girl...I can't imagine the moment she was hit...the fear, the pain...Life so young should never be extinguished... I love you Dolly, my little girl, Pele's angel...we'll meet again.

unfortunately...6:30 will be a tad early for me... has there been any discussion on post dinner drinks?
