    Last week while in London on business and pleasure, the local UK hosts, Thang and Greg C., welcomed Roman B and my wife and me to the IWC London Boutique.     As usual, we were welcomed by the IWC Boutique staff who were very accomodating. Thanks IWC for putting up with us and dragging out watches to temp us.  Roman was focued on one in particular, but he walked out without it even after much enabling by me.  

    It was exciting to see Thang and Greg once again and to catch up with Roman who I met for the first time at SIHH this year.  We talked so much, I didn't take as many photos as usual.  Here are just a few.

    The Boutique on New Bond Street. Notice the ship on the building facade. I guess they expected some Aquatimers to in residence at some point.

    Our group shot:  L to R:  Yours truly, Thang, Greg, and Roman.

    Roman was seriously thing about one IWC.  The great enabler was busy on his phone and togehter we were unalbe to get Roman to take it home with him.

    My wife was sorly tempted, but I got out of there with my credit card untouched.  Curious expression, but she did ask to have it pulled from the display case for inspecion.

    After all, diamonds are a girl's best friend.

    Thanks Thang and Greg for taking time out of your schedules to visit with us.  Thanks too to Roman for stopping by as well.  Next time, I'll do a better job with the photo ops.
