May I be the first to suggest that you have pioneered the nascent art of "Watch Flaneurism." Strolling about quaint European capitals with one eye cast towards shop windows while sampling the cafes and street life seems like the perfect tonic for our times. For those of us in watch purgatory--in my case that is San Diego, CA--a European diversion where one can find vibrant cafe society seems a bit like a mirage.

Is it time for the forum to start working on an International Baedecker/resource guide for Heuer afficianados?
