| With Black Friday just around the corner, and the Holiday Season just beginning, will you
be looking for any new watches in the coming month? Is there a particular model that
you might be on the lookout for? Or will you just be getting ideas, and being spontaneous?
Also might there be family, or friends who enjoy watches that you might be looking to
find a watch for this year also? ____________________________________  | |

| This year is the first year in a while I won't be going to Long Island for Thanksgiving...I will be in a small town with no malls or other signs of life. So not really going to be running into any deals this year for black Friday. I will have to wait for the online sales on cyber Monday....  ____________________________________ Later, Gary Remember we are the caretakers of mechanical art.....

| Gary, sounds like it's going to be a very nice Thanksgiving for you.  You can relax, not worry about having to travel somewhere, enjoy the weekend, and then be ready for Cyber Monday !  Steve, I really hope that you start to feel better soon sir. Didn't know that you were going through all of that to be honest. Get well, and don't worry. Everything will turn out fine. ____________________________________ | |

Nothing in particular for me. Already took advantage of a couple unexpected opportunities. Breitling, Oris, and Chase Durer. So, I'm pretty much tapped out till next year. Just window shopping.

Very cool Jeffrey.  ..You got some REALLY great watches this year that's for sure. Now you can just sit back, and relax, and then if something grabs your attention while window shopping, that's terrific TOO ! ____________________________________ | |

| Not really looking for anything in particular right now, unless I find a Junghans Vista Chrono in titanium. Actually considering selling some I rarely wear-just too lazy to get it done. You never know though, that irresistable deal could come at any time. | |

That Vista Chrono is very nice Mark, and I know how cool that three hand is that you have. They have a look that really stands out, along with what looks like top notch quality also. Great choice sir ! ____________________________________ | |

| Had it in mind to try for a pre-moon Omega Speedie on the Japan auction but the prices were a bit too high for my liking (near $2000usd. But found a Omega vintage Polaris chrono to match my regular model, so hopefully no one else will like it ! Usually this Omega 80s quartz line is neglected. Also found the full size quartz preBond version with gold bezel. I have 2 midsized ones so.....haven't bid on it though....yet! Each is listed at around $8-900usd....

| Oh nice Mark ! ..So you have it incoming then ?! Thian, those two Omegas are outstanding right there !  I hope that you can win them sir, but even if you don't I'm sure another one will eventually show up, or maybe even a different model will catch your eye. ..Good Luck ! ____________________________________ | |

| Ok, who am I kidding - Of course there are a couple on my radar. Low end pieces perhaps satisfy my emotional consumerism, but still window shopping for next years high end purchase. Always entertained the notion of the Orient Revolver but when I saw it on a watchadoo bracelet the hunt was ON!  Also in the market for a beater Ana-Digi and this Momentum may fit the bill.  | |

Awesome Jeffrey ! Knew there was something out there that you must be looking at. That Orient is unbelievable to be honest with you. It has that perfect mix of sport, and class, done in an aggressive yet still classic way. Really would look GREAT in your collection. ..Same goes for that Momentum which you are showing. Have seen that company before, and always liked the look of their watches. This ani digi here has a very cool case, along with bezel imho. The pushers, crown, and way the dial is set up makes for an outstanding look, as well as high end feel also. This one, and actually BOTH, look as if they may fit the bill Jeffrey ! ..Fantastic choices here !!! ____________________________________ | |

| That's great Alan ! Definitely a watch worth wearing, and enjoying all of the time. It's one of those type of watches that you can never get tired of if you ask me ! ____________________________________ | |

I've always liked that watch and wouldn't mind getting the black dial but they are not around much. | |
