a photo from my colleagues trip to our office in Idstein Germany as passing down the street by the local shops.... :-!

I have to say, that is one of the coolest (forgive my grammar) things about Europe. They have shops full of things that we here in the good ole USofA won't have. I'm talking about hobbies; watches, shops with elaborate crystals, etc.
When I lived in Switzerland I could go to any major town and find shops that were LOADED with Legos, model trains, watches and on and on.
Here you will find some in a 'superstore' that you can't wait to leave. Or brave a Mall that is full of irritating, rude people.
Well, great picture! My watch due to arrive looks remarkably like the one centered in your photo. :-!

so true... a shame that more places aren't like Europe.
there is no where around me that carries Fortis or I'd be in there like
every week checking things out.
The only local jeweler that carries anything worth looking at is really high end and carries watches that I simply can't afford...
Glashutte Original, IWC, Blancpain and so on.
Fortunately I am lucky enough to have a couple buddies that are Fortis ADs and I personally own one of those super cool Fortis pilot helmets. :-!
be sure to post pics of your B-42 Cosmo Chrono when you get it.
I just hooked my buddy Mark up with my AD and he ordered the same one.
hmmm, maybe I should get one too???
nah, my B-42 Flieger chrono is enough for now... or is it??? :think:
thanks for the post and take care
