    No.

    Good watch, though. I remember giving it to you in the bar, steam almost rising from us after the downpour we’d walked through.

    I also remember the €500 note you produced in the restaurant.

    If you miss the watch, we could do a time share on it and pass it between us.

    I remember seeing you for the first time in St Pancras thinking, He looks like he could be a Tribe, as you walked past. I don't think I'd ever seen a picture of you before.

    I remember both those events fondly. The waitress was good enough to break the €500 because she said I was polite.

    Do you remember the very expensive chocolatiere?

    Happy days!

    Mostly I remember the waitress looking like this...

    She couldn’t change it at first, but came back after some more money had gone through the till.

    I also remember Sjors saying: “Jimmy, do you know how much €500 is?”

    Those chocolates were extraordinary. I think we’ve still got the box somewhere.

    After living in Japan so long and using the currency, 0s on prices and currency just don't have the impact they once did. I would regularly spend a thousand on lunch.

    So that's where you get a regular Rolex.
    Some people have opinions - The rest of us have taste.

    Completely forgot to update everyone.

    I finally went with Steveo Straps who custom made me a strap after I send my watch off to him.

    I can't believe it was over a year ago.
