Vintage on Vacation.
My wife and I have been on vacation for her 30th birthday in Italy. One of the things I wanted to do in Rome was find some sort of Horologic memento of the trip. I searched for watch shops but apart from JLC and IWC boutiques (among a few others) I couldn't really find what I was looking for. We found this place by chance. And they had a window full of nice vintage watch pieces. I had them pull out four or five that I tried on and ultimately settled on this Autrix Chronograph in 18k gold, running a Landeron 148 movement. It had been serviced, they opened the case for me, and put the watch on a timing machine for me to observe. Even regulating it while I waited. It was truly a great experience and a piece I will cherish for a long time.

Cool watch. For some reason I thought you were Asian.

Aaron of the Shapiro clan of Yamaguchi Prefecture? There literally couldn't be a more Jewish sounding name! He sounds like a Hasidic Rabbistreetracer101 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 06, 2017 7:31 amCool watch. For some reason I thought you were Asian.

I knew this girl Kathy Joo.
I thought them Koreans had the most Jewish sounding name.
