You never know who's looking!

There I was last Monday night, sitting in the airport in Seattle, waiting for a connecting flight & minding my own business when a very nice young couple sat down beside me. The gentleman fired up his notebook computer & began to look at pictures of his G-Shock. It kind of struck me as odd, but what was even better was that his wife wasn't rolling her eyes saying "Yes Dear" every time he asked her opinion about a shot - she actually seemed interested as well! I politely asked "You're not a WIS by chance, are you?" to which he proudly replied "Why yes I am!". A true joy to have met WhtShadow & his lovely wife & have a short discussion before our flight left. So beware, you never know who's watching. What a great community we have here, to not only discuss watches but to meet each other. Great to have met you Dave & I look forward to meeting others in my travels. :-!

Wow! What an amazing encounter, Snowback and Shadow. Man, surely you got pics, right? :-!
Doh! No pics. Didn't even think of it.:-(

Ah, but we have memories! :-d

And we'll always have Seattle ... (or actually, Pasco & the Tri-City airport - look that one up in Goggle earth!) :-d
Well, you could always take photos of yourselves and photoshop the picture together :-d

Yep. Seattle where we first met. ;-) Pasco where we parted ways...:-x

What ever happened to "What happens in the airport stays in the airport."? :think:

They say that the guy who made that phrase went to Vegas. They say also that, contrary to what happens to many there, he made a lot of money.

:-d
Nice - really small world !

<<And glad someone asked about a WIS ! Too funny !>>

Either that or he got in an accident with a vice....

That's really cool. An accidental meeting of a WUS forum member. :-!

Doug, amigo, I see only a red X here. That's exactly because what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. :-d

No, really, just a red X is showing.
I actually bought a refrigerator magnet for my wife from the area that says" Washington ... What happens here, stays here. But nothing ever really happens here!"

And there's this other one from a dialogue in The Perfect Storm. I don't know why I remembered it, but I'll quote it: "Gloucester, they're always from Gloucester". :-d
Actually, mansrow, I think you are close. :think:

However, I did not have the GW-M5600 at that point. :-( It was patiently waiting for me, safely boxed up, at the local post office. :-! So it probably was my GW-5600J. It goes through the metal detectors without problems. b-)

By the way, what made you think it was the GWM?:think:
because Snowback mentioned it on his first post :-!
and also this post click click
Cool story!
What are the odds?
Cool story!

Almost none. Amazing indeed. :-!

Snowback lives in Massachusetts; WhtShadow is in Washington. From coast to coast and you find a fellow forummer there. Imagine that.
i gotta go start hanging out in the airport !!!!!
maybe ill meet a WIS or a g-shock forumer.
How cool to just by chance run into not only another WIS, but a fellow member of this forum!

Man...I'm just floored by that.

Big :-!.
That is amazing! It is said that if you sit in Piccadilly Circus in London, eventually you will meet everyone you know. I didn't know it applied to Seattle Airport too! :-d
