Whenever I'm asked at the poker table, "Do you live straddle?" My response is usually the same, "Not when playing poker."

My dear distinguised, elegant, Heuer wearing gentlemen,
I'm honored by Mikes kind posting about me and humbled to be in the company of you and your Heuers. It's true, I am the proud owner of a 1940's, Heuer Abercrombie & Fitch Chronograph and as of just a few hours ago, a 1960's Heuer Carrera Chronograph (thanks to Mike).

It was about six or seven years ago while shopping at the Long Beach Vet's stadium antique market that my heart stopped at the sight of the Abercrombie. I had been looking for over two and a half years for this watch--rumaging through different swap meets, antigue markets, vintage watch shops, you name it. And there is was--a God among mere mortals. I definitely blurred the lines of gentleness and forcefulness as I pushed the other on-looker/shoppers aside, pointed and said, "I want this one." I whipped out my checkbook (whipped out?! Am I writing to an all male audience or what!), forgetting even to ask the price. Fortunately, I only had to scribble in the amount of $1,100.

The rest is female vintage Heuer buying history. Besides the joy of just looking at my watch, much less wearing it, who would have ever guessed that I would be writing my Heuer story to such a refined group of individuals. OnTheDash is amazing--Mike thank you for your helpfulness--Jeff you too. And to the rest of the gang, I give my official "Hello." I promise never to be girly (when it comes to watches).

Thanks for letting me share a little of Heuer heaven with you.

Kindest regards,
Patty

P.S. One more thing, color coordinating the color of your shoes with the color of your watch strap is absolutely essential! (I couldn't resist.)

I bought my Heuer: finish the story? start the story? make her own
: debut on this Discussion Forum? post a
: photo? post a link to her site?

: I mean how often is it that we have a celebrity
: who really knows her Heuers / Abercrombies?
: I would imagine that we could persuade her
: to tell her own story.
