Foremost of the Watch Nerds, please step forward

Congratulations Jeff,

I guess you are aware, you have officially been nominated as "Foremost of the watch nerds", by the Times of London, the newspaper of record.

In an article in the Times today about the search to identify Obama's watch it says that after Obama replaced his TAG Heuer with a new watch "a frenzy began among watch nerds to identify it" It then goes on to say that "foremost among the watch detectives was Jeff Stein, a civil lawyer from Atlanta".

It's a fun article - here is the link:

Unfortunately does not mention the paintless wonder, or pvd monacos. Probably just as well, as there is a limit to how mainstream we would want to be.

regards
Shaun
(trainee junior watch nerd)
