r11co Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Three weeks passed in a blink. I guess I must be a jinx though - Missed my scheduled ferry so arrived in Dunkerque at 1 am... I was on the Rue De Rivoli in Paris for the Tour de France finale , and the winner gets exposed as a cheat.. Managed to wreck the clutch on my car maneouvering out of the car park of the Paris hotel. Oh, and why is it Italian tollgates are STILL totally inadequate for the volume of traffic pasing through them...?? You would think they'd want the money.. Anyway - watches... The most Panerai I saw was the 090 on my wrist. Italians still love Rolex and that will never change. I was fortunate enough to be in the company of a drinks baron - a Mr Nardini, who was wearing, guess what, a Ulysee Nardin! Three days in Monaco were an eye-opener - a world apart. Zegg & Cerlati relegate Panerai to a little side window - even Omega get more prominence in their shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
