Really cool Invicta story...well at least to me!
Well the wife and I decided to go out and do a little bowling tonight. We got there and after we started we of course had to get a pitcher of cold brews. I went up to the bar and the guy serving me was wearing a goldtone ocean ghost with a blue dial. Of course I spotted it right away and commented on how I liked his watch. He went on to tell me that he had around 20 Invictas and really like watching ShopNBC to get new watches. We went on bowling for a bit and when we were done I went back and told him about WG's and he was really interested, I also told him about the Kansas City GGT on the 21st of this month and I think he is going to attend. It was fun to feel like a Super Geek (since I'm now over 1k post) and I hope he joins the site shares some of his collection. Sorry if the story was a bore to you just thought it was a cool, random meeting!! __________________ If it don't make dollaz...Then it don't make sense!

Not boring at all, Jake! It's fun when you run into a fellow Invicta lover, let alone watch lover! Thanks for sharing... Magster View Public Profile Send a private message to Magster Find all posts by Magster Add Magster to Your Contacts #3 Yesterday, 08:38 PM

Jake...It's always fun running into a fellow watch-nut. If they happen to be Invicta collectors, it breaks the ice all that much faster. Great story unclefixit View Public Profile

Hey that's what geeking is all about. I would love to run into someone in my area with the same interest. __________________ "The definition of insanity - doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different outcome." Freud.
