Friday morning I flew down to Orlando to see my father for a long weekend. Thanks to the direct flight from Dayton, I flew out about 8am, landed about 10:30am, grabbed the bags, drove to my father’s place, unpacked and was pool side by about 2pm. 
On the way to the club house and pool, I noticed what I thought was a gator and some turtles sunning themselves next to the pool - but I only had my point and shoot camera with me, so this is the only shot I got on Friday:
So I kicked back and enjoyed the pool, and decided I’d bring my DSLR tomorrow:
Saturday was just beautiful! Not a cloud in the sky!
This pontoon plan made a few take offs and landings on the lake:
I was hoping that gator would make it back out, but the only visitors to the local wildlife sunbathing spot were these turtles:
But I kept a lookout….hmmm….waitaminute….what is that I see in the water?
Yep….my buddy was back!
I decided to go out into the grass and try to get a closer shot! I crept up behind him…..closer….closer…..closer….here was the best shot I got. Did I get too close? 
I also got a great shot of this blue heron:
Sunday my father and I went over to the IWJG Orlando show…it’s one of the biggest in the country run by IWJG. I got to meet face to face with our very own Ed Delgado for the first time (Vintage Rolex Moderator) and saw a few familiar faces as well. Here’s a shot of John Brozek, author of The Rolex Report (<a href=http://rolexreferencepage.com/book_reviews/rr/reportreviewyou can click here to read the review I did of this book):
I also got to meet many of the "Big" Rolex pre-owned/vintage dealers, including Robert Maron, the new head of Antiquorum.
The show was of course down a bit this year due to the economy, but there was still a good 1/2 billion dollars of product on display….more double red Sea-Dwellers, Comex divers, Bond Subs, and Mil Subs than I’ve ever seen in one place…if it was high end Rolex, it was in this show. In terms of what I bought though, I was pretty conservative and thanks to John Brozek I got a good deal on an item for my Rolex curio cabinet - I think it looks pretty good on the top shelf:
I got a smokin’ great deal on this sign, and I’ve been looking for one forever! I flew back home Monday….it was a very enjoyable weekend!

Hello Everyone, I am new to this forum. I have been reading the various interesting threads and very much appreciate the knowledge, the friendly environment and the amazing pictures. I am not a very good photographer, and do not have a good camera, but I hope you find the photos interesting.
I love watches and over the past few years have built a small collection that is composed of:
1) A Z series SS Rolex GMT II-C. I bought it back in Oct 2007 to celebrate a promotion at work. I bought it new from the local AD. I wear it every day.
2) A 1975 Universal Geneve Golden Shadow Quartz with a 74 Quartz movement. This watch belonged to my father. For some reason this watch was not working for the last 20+yrs. Last year I contacted UG and I was adviced to send it to a Swiss watch-maker master who lives in Houston. He brought it back to life.
3) A 1974 Omega Constellation ref ST355.0815 automatic caliber 711 24 jewels. This watch also belonged to my father. I kept it in storage after he passed away in 1989. Last year I realized the dial was cracked. I sent it to Omega in Switzerland. They refurbished it and it now looks almost brand new.
4) A 2008 Swiss Army divers watch Submariner "look-a-like". I use this watch to go to the beach, the pool, etc.
5) A 1997 Seiko titanium chronograph that I used until I bought the Rolex. I now use it for jogging.
Here is a group photo:
Hope you guys have enjoyed it.
Best,
