But the experience was priceless, a wonderful old college town with the energy that comes with the kids, there were 82,000 fans at the game and quite electric…Jim
But changed to my platium Daytona for the game so I could match my wife’s white dial Daytona, nice to be able to mix and match watches …Jim
Especially being around all the young, energetic college kids…Jim
Is my wife (she was born in Oklahoma) calls me Boomer (I’m a baby boomer) and I didn’t know about the “Boomer Sooners” until we arrived in Oklahoma and she told me…Jim
I have never “loved” rectangular watches albeit my wife has 2 JLC reverses, but the Lange and Heyne has the slightly curved case plus the three lugs making it a little thicker and it fits me perfectly. I am really enjoying this watch…Jim
...The Irish won handily but the home fans were very gracious. We stayed with a friend in Tulsa and had a blast. They really put on a show when it comes to football : )
