with all the excitement about our first female Heuer enthusiast, let's not forget that this Discussion Forum is also about watches!! Heuers, in particular.
Just as a reminder that we should pay some attention to the watches, I thought that I should post this photo, showing the one that I call "Patty's Patina".

Gentlemen:
: Hello Gentlemen!
: I'm finally back from the abyss of my recording
: studio (I'm working on new material for my
: new album I hope to release this year).
: Tomorrow I head for Vegas for more poker (I
: can't get enough) and some Ricky Martin
: shakin his "bon bon" (I can't get
: enough--of any bon bon shaking really). I'm
: crossing my fingers that my new toy from
: Mike--the Carrera makes it in time for my
: trip. I really want to wear it this
: weekend--especially at the poker tables. I
: even packed the right shoes to match the
: strap:)
: Chuck you asked me about "why
: Abercrombie/Heuer etc." Well, the truth
: is, as I patiently rumaged through the
: antigue markets etc. for over two years, I
: was looking mainly for a large stainless
: steel chronograph. It didn't have to be a
: Heuer. But when I saw the Heuer I freaked
: out because it was exactly what I had always
: imagined the watch I hoped to find someday
: to look and feel like. I had previously
: owned several Tag Heuers (Don't cringe you
: guys!) from my highschool and college
: days--you know the plastic sports ones. I
: guess I've always had a thing for Heuer
: designs. I still have a Tag 18k plated
: "Sports Elegance" watch that I
: purchsed in 1992--when I started making
: money from my first year of touring--it was
: my first "big" purchase ( I think
: I paid around $1,100 though they normally
: ran $1,595 ish). Anyway, my pride and joy is
: of course my Abercrombie. I knew I had found
: something special. I'll attach a photo of it
: (if I can figure out how to do this. If you
: don't see it purhaps Jeff or Mike can do it
: for me? You both have an image of my
: watch--Thank you!!!. By the way, thank you
: for your photos of you Abercrombie Seafarer
: and the Omega--both very nice.
: Ok, I've talked enough--don't want to bore you
: guys! I hope you all have a wonderful
: weekend! Have a lot of fun. Wish me luck at
: the poker tables....
: Regards,
: Patty
