Thanksgiving Weekend Free Theme WS Thread Starts Now!

Nov 24, 2016,07:17 AM
 

It's free them for everybody.  For those who are having Thanksgiving weekend, you may want to express "thanks" to someone or something, too!


As for me, I am thankful that I could put this piece on my wrist.  Small things can make people very happy.  Don't be an unhappy person!




Have a great Friday + weekend!

Best,
Ken

I fell in love with the bezel again....

Thanks for Salvation from Bad Beer

I commemorate the advent of bottom-fermented pilsner lager in 1842. Thanks for 1842 Josef Groll (b. 21 August 1813, Vilshofen an der Donau – d. 22 November 1887, Vilshofen) was the "Father of the Pils", best known for his invention of bottom-fermented Pil...  

While the watch is very fine

 
 By: TheMadDruid : November 24th, 2016-16:49
the beer is sublime. Man, you are so right about beer in general and P.U. in particular. Cheers!

Well, c'est la vie :-))

 
 By: KIH : November 24th, 2016-17:20
You have bad beer days and good beer days, hehe. I am happy with Asahi or Sapporo But nice watch, nonetheless! Ken

I am even more picky about Japanese beer...

 
 By: MTF : November 25th, 2016-03:49
Only Sapporo will do because it is the last major Japanese brewery that uses 100% malt with water and yeast. Occasionally, the sister brew Yebisu is taken for the same reason but also for nostalgia as I lived a few stops from Ebisu on the Yamanote railway...  

Good to know the difference between Sapporo and Asahi.
