I'm off to the colder and damper area of the country this weekend to visit some friends, one of which is a bit of a watch nut (the dark side though) and he asked if i'd bring some Heuers up. So i have dusted a few off and will be hoping to show him the error of his ways. As i said to him recently, Heuers are just so much more interesting, colourful, avantegarde, i'm not sure if he can be persuaded over the fence but i thought it was worth a try.
I remember when i first clapped eyes on Monacos and Silverstones at a certain shop in Cobham...my initial response was, they're a bit whacky, look too big for my wrist. Its only when i tried them on that i realised their uniqueness was the attraction and what sets them apart.
Whilst i was getting them ready for the trip i thought i'd take a quick snap, obviously not up to the "Gavin" standard, but i like to take the occasional picture, so i can see the story develop over time. I'm hoping the flight doesn't disrupt them too much and the sight of the Geordie lasses don't distract me too much, last time i went up they were basically walking round in swim costumes and it was December! Not so much grim up north as rock hard up north!
Cheers
