As previously posted, an IWC Gathering was held today in Austin, Texas. We hoped to have attendees from 4 continents, but Ben's ("Bendy") plane from Australia was delayed, so the representatives from 3 continents carried on.
If you're gonna eat in Texas, you know what you're gonna eat!
That critter on the wall over our heads was a little different. He actually talked! It's true! Ask Jim ("Dzul") who is my witness. It was all good until he sang Happy Birthday to a little girl at the next table, causing her to burst into tears at the sight of a stuffed steer's head talking. Or is that a cow? Or a bull? Memo to others: don't invite city folk to country places.
So here are Jim ("Dzul") and the lovely Dorothy arriving for dinner.
Here are the attendees. Yup, three continents. Count them. Dorothy (L) is from Kenya, Africa but is now a proud US citizen, Dick ("whichwatch") (R) is from United States, North America, and Jim ("Dzul") (C) is from Texas. What? Texas is part of the US? You haven't talked to many native Texans lately, have you?
We started with the rib appetizer. Everything is bigger in Texas.
Beef ribs:
Baby Back pork ribs:
Finally, out come the IWC's for the requisite table shot.
We know the water resistance of each of these watches. But circumstances caused us to wonder what was the barbecue sauce resistance. Jim decided we should test whichever watch on the table was the newest. Uh oh. That was Dick's 5001.
Sigh. I wonder if he knew that? Ok, a deal's a deal. Bring on the sauce!
OK, big boy. In you go!
For Sale or Trade: IWC 5001. Like New in Sauce. Smells Great.
Ben, we missed you. Sorry your plane was late. Jim and Dorothy are looking forward to meeting up with you later this week. Watch out for the singing steer/cow/bull/whatever. And don't let Jim fool you with that "newest watch" bit!

IWC, for 2013, please make with screw in crown.
Thanks,
Andy
Glad to see that it wasn't a Santoni that was sacrificed to the sauce.
Best regards,
David
