Re: New Member, New Camaro for the Register

: Hello all. Wonderful and civilized around here,
: a pleasure compared to the way audiophiles
: go after each other elsewhere.
Thanks for sharring your watch and story I loved the story and really love your 2 reg chrono. I have to say its one that I really like. I am not a big 2 reg guy although I own far to meny But Dang your is nice and photo came out nice too!!!
I am really glad you enjoy it! Its a wounderful one!!
: My Camaro has a little story behind it. My
: wife, who is from Frawnce, home of good
: taste, was shopping with me at Tourneau for
: something used maybe 15 years or so ago. She
: zeroed in almost immediately on a Camaro and
: we bought it. I didn't want a Breitling,
: which you see everywhere in one form or
: another, and anyway that "ilk" is
: just too big for my wrist.

: Yadda yadda I thought, okay, but I didn't warm
: up to my Camaro very quickly. What a dummy.
: Before too long I got a nice leather strap
: for it (going for a deployment clasp soon)
: and began to realize just what a unique jem
: I had. Drat, my wife was right again! Big
: problem in our marriage. It's been my sports
: watch of choice since then.

: A word; I'm not really a collector, just a guy
: who appreciates fine things, like art,
: watches, vinyl, tubes, F1, a nice jaunt in
: my Aston Martin DB4 Zagato (I wish),
: Goodwood, etc.

: In 2002, another audio reviewer (Ken
: "Kracked Krystal" Kessler, anyone
: know him? big watch guy, duck!) and I
: received Daniel JeanRichard Calibre DJR 25
: Type 1111A chronos. Big beautiful heavy
: thing with deployment buckle.

: I was blown away by it, just _loved_ it, and
: let my Camaro waste away unused. Thanks,
: I needed that. Recently, however, while at
: Tourneau again, the counterperson asked me
: if I also wanted a strap for my Heuer which
: I was wearing. Hmmm, she knew it was
: pre-TAG, I was a little startled, said I'd
: be back, and found you all! A treasure trove
: of info!

: I now don't wear the JeanRichard much as I've
: fallen in love with my Camaro all over
: again. It's a two-register series 73343,
: runs a touch slow, and could use a new
: crystal. Damn, it's hard getting a p/s
: digital to focus under the crystal, so this
: was the best I could do for now.
