Captain Scarlett - I always called him 'Cap' - was the best friend one could have . . .
. . . even though I never had the pleasure of meeting him in person. We spoke regularly on the phone for the last seven years and communicated privately thru e-mail years before.
I'll have more to say next Friday during the April installment of Wrist Scan. Until then, my thoughts are for his friends and family.
Bereaved,
Art
It is with much sorrow that I wish to share the sad news of our dear Captain Scarlett passing today.
I received the sad news today from Mrs. Scarlett and I’m still in shock. The Captain was a personal friend and we exchanged a couple of messages about two weeks ago. He showed his usual good humor and nothing could make me foresee something so dramatic wo...

So many great moments and shared memories, wristcan, cartier and so much more. May he rest in peace and special thoughts to his family members.

So very sorry…
You were so generous with so much knowledge to someone with so little. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😞

Dear Sarah, my apologies for calling yesterday, I was trying to send a text . . .
. . . but wound up dialing by mistake. It was a privilege to be Cap's friend; it's difficult to believe he's gone. Please know he was admired and respected by our community of watch collectors. He was, to his core, one of us. Sincerely, Art
