TAG Heuer Partners with North American Soccer Organizations
TAG Heuer has announced a landmark, long-term partnership agreement with Major League Soccer (MLS) and the U.S. Soccer Federation. The partnership, which commences on March 6, the first day of the 2016 MLS season, also includes the Professional Referee Organization (PRO), the organization responsible for managing the referee and assistant referee program in professional soccer leagues in the United States and Canada.

Quartz may actually be an idea who's time has come.
I was thinking about this today. Wind up watches and autowinders are less accurate than quartz (soul-less quartz, I know). Not just because the escapement oscillates at a slower and less consistent speed than quartz, but because the rate of the movement is affected by everything from the resting position, to a quick snap of the wrist. It's interestingas an aficionado of fine writing instruments (fountain pens) there were years where I wouldn't touch a ball pen of any kind, unless I was using a waitresses to sign a credit card slip. I loved the look and feel of fountain pens, found them to be far superior to ball pens, and relished the history behind each pen design and/or technology. But, after quite a few years, I came appreciate what the general public felt when ball pens first appeared. They were newer, more superior technology. They are cleaner, easier to use, and more convenient. Are they as romantic as a fountain pen? No. Do they give the same fine flow and flexibility

Barkley screen grab
I thought this was a Glycine Incursore, but I can't find the orange sub second model. Anyone know what this is? It's from the NCAA tournament tonight.

AP's in Texas?
It seems the only AP AD in Texas I have heard of is in Frisco. Does anyone know of any other places that carry a collection of AP's in Texas? I'm really wanting a 15300, and even though I know it's discontinued I'd really like to check out some others and try them on before I buy Grey. Any places in the DFW or Austin area that have a selection of used AP's?Thanks Gentleman,Six
