What a great weekend, I met a King in the watch community

That King was Morgan King, he's well known through out the Internet for his interest in Vintage Rolex watches, more notably for his passion for Paul Newman Daytona (s), recently however, he was bitten by the Heuer bug, most of you may have seen him with a couple of Monacos and Autavias.

Morgan is an interesting man, a crazy one indeed, but a great guy to hang out with, he was full of energy, I think all that diet soda really keeps him going.

He's the first person I've known who and I quote from Morgan "you have to double-fist your watches dude...", that night, Morgan shared his late 1960s Paul Newman Daytona and our very own Dark Lord with me :-) for Morgan I shared my Jo Siffert and Grey-Sub GMT, oh I learned something knew that night, how to handle two watches on separate wrists while paying attention that one or the other doesn't slams against something, how does he do it? I guess he's got skillz for a New Yorker like myself :-)

Here's Morgan:

Here's me:

and here's the group of watches :-)

Aside from watches I got to meet many of Morgan's friends funny how it is a small world but most of them grew up in NYC like me lived near or went to school near each other and we didn't even know it.

It was a fun weekend getting to meet this guy and his friends, i just hope I keep meeting others in the community and have fyn times like these.
