_____________The 2009 NYC GTG Report___ DAY 3 _______(GTG activities - 57 pics. ! ! )__SATURDAY - May 15th 2009 - The Main Event.We started our day with a nice breakfast in a not very fancy but cozy Morning Star restaurant on thecorner of 57th St and 9th Ave. As is it always the weekend following mother's day - the 9th Ave wasblocked off for about 20 block due to a fantastic food festival. We went in 2007 and 2008....and youbet - we went this year as well.After some walking through the food fest we jumped in the can and went to Cartier Boutique on 5th Avewhere we saw some phenomenal watches from Basel 2009 and also attended their exhibit upstairs thatincluded 231 carat diamond, Triple Crown Trophy as well as some cool Art Deco Mystery Clocks and manyother beautiful Cartier artifacts. We had to hurry up and be at the hotel before 2Pm so we could change andget to GTG on time. Despite shortage of time we walked by Omega Boutique and of course had to stop in.Leo still convinced us to stop

This watch is just amazingly accurate!
Bought this one last summer:I love it! The ceramic bessel, the PCL, the green 24h hand, not to mention the new clasp. It's just beautiful.Besides it's amazingly accurate. After having the watch for three months I got it regulated. (It was 3 s slow a day.). Know it's 2 - 3 s slow a week! That's an average of 0.36 s a day!!! It's 3 s slow a week if I let it sit in the safe the days I play tennis before work, and 2 s slow a week if I just take it of while playing. If i don't take it off while playing it will gain 2 s that day, and then be back on track.I never take it off unless playing tennis or sleeping. I love to shower with it so it gets nice and shiny Here are a couple of more pictures:

Home and/or Night Time Watches
How many of you have watches that you wear only at home in the evenings or at night? Here are the two that I put on when home in the evening and they stay on until the next morning. I rotate these two.The first is my Sterile Traser on a Milspec strap and the second is my Luminox on a Maratac 'caustic green' striped strap.

Another incoming thread...sort of
A new baby at home coupled with a busy work schedule really cuts down on Rolex Forum time...I know I owe Thomas (TSW) and Connor (Steelerfan65) some wrist shots, which I am terrible at by the way.I picked up my first AP (Diver) back in June. I was thrilled to be in the club.I've always had a weakness for white dial chronographs and I have tried on the Safari while in Vegas a couple of times - I just loved it. I never thought I would be able to add it this soon.So a few weeks back I was able to add the Safari...Thanks again to DavidSW for another wonderful piece! The bad news...heading back to Vegas shortly...looking to shop for something 44mm or finally get to try on the white 15400...wish me luck!

Silver Dial Speedie:
Hello!I recently bought something I want to share with you.A regular speedie but with a silver dial! The dial is from a japaneese white gold LE I have been told. Anyway, I think it really looks good. Nice contrast with the silver dial and black bezel IMO. The watch looks a bit dressier, and extra special good with gator straps!It looks different in different lights, not very well captured here though.Together with its buddies:Cheersjohn
