After two wonderful weeks visiting my wife's family in the gorgeously verdant countryside of Sweden, we were able to squeeze in a couple of days in dear old Stockhlom...
...where I had the great pleasure to meet one of THE true Gentlemen Collectors in this hobby, our good friend Johan.
Not only was Johan the personification of the gracious host, leading us on a fabulous tour of some of the insider's best parts of a great city and treating us to a wonderful lunch in peaceful Djurgården, but he also brought along his truly world class Vintage Sports Rolex collection...
This stunning array includes three of the best gilt Tool Watches you will ever see...
...accompanied by a bevy of beautiful matte Divers...
...all crowned by his mind-blowingly magnificent MilSub...
Now, my Fat Lady may make an excellent traveling watch but it is not exactly a match for J's fantastically mellowed early 60s GMT...
LOL.
Yes, it was simply a tremendous afternoon meeting one of the greats of this hobby and sharing an appreciation of the good things in life--a great Cuban cigar, some magnificent old Rolex, excellent conversation...
...all in one of the world's great cities. I miss the beauty of Stockholm already...
...can't wait to go back!
Tack så mycket, Johan!
