froggg reacted to kong in watches....to dream on for
I bought a used rolex explorer 2 may years ago from the exchange and mart for 25 pounds (at the time i lived in Derby and drove to Leeds as soon as i saw the advert. a bargain at 25 pounds but i am sure that people who remember the exchange and mart will know it was a long while ago. about 35 years from memory.
about 6 years ago, now living in spain, i saw an advert in a local paper wanting to buy used watches ie rolex, omega etc. the buyer was offering €4000 for explorer 2 with orange hands. (aparantely this particular model was worn by steve mcqueen and became known as the steve mcqueen model)
i thought if a dealer is offering that without even seeing it, it is obviously worth more. so i advertised the watch on ebay.
it sold for € 9500. (at the time euro / pounds was about the same; as it is now.) the buyer caught a flight the same day from malaga to valencia to collect the watch. not a bad investment!
i sold the watch then bought a submariner for € 2900. i was in a jewellers recently and was offered € 5000 for the watch by the jeweller.
i didnt sell it. not really in need of the money these day but just goes to show the right watch is a very good investment.
i share the time now with my rolex submariner and samsung frontier s3

froggg got a reaction from 2tups in Aberdeenshire Rams
It was with a ‘Wholly Humble Heart’ that I had the pleasure of meeting you two top Rams, (didn’t realise that Martin Stephenson and the dainties was on in Derby, gutted to have missed that) any way hope you had a pleasant journey back and we’ll see you next time.

Derby County 0-3 Aston Villa Sat 10th Nov 2018 attended by @Inverurie Ram & @2tups
Enjoyed Martin Stephenson & The Daintees on Friday night at the Derby Venue. We enjoyed a sing a long to Rain which was a bit like this in Glasgow a few days earlier. I wonder if there are any Rams fans out there in Invergordon? We enjoyed plenty of cans of Red Stripe before getting stuck into some Northern ale at 10% in the Brewery Tap.
On Saturday we met up with the fellas in The Silk Milk before another go in the Brewery Tap, before the football got in the way of us enjoying ourselves. Met @froggg @Boycie and @Duracell such lovely people in The Brunswick for a quick chat whilst enjoying the Plum Porter, so we then had some more with our mates, when 2 of the 3 escaped for their train. Before meeting up with other mates in The White Horse for a sing song, then enjoyed a dozen more pubs on route to the Tiger and The Bell, the pubs on Saddlers Gate, up and around the town and round and round and then 4 of us finished off in a curry house and I can't believe @2tups had a lamb dish! A straight red card!
