We try to meet up for some time one of these Sunday morning with MattS to chat about watches and cars.

The summer weather this morning was a very good reason to accept Matt's invitation to join the countryside.

One of my good friend, Djayrom, was glad to join the party, at no rate we would have made the trip with our pockets empty
