Re: 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)

Good article, and Jeff published an article on it as well
