    I ::love:: that watch. I think it comes in a dark grey (anthracite?) dial too - or I might be thinking of another Saxonia.

    Putting my search word in this post so I can find it later, when I have a spare briefcase full of cash ready:

    ecclesiastical

    There, done.

    Making mental note to put ecclesiastical in as many threads as possible involving Invictas.

    I think they don't make watches with grey/black dials anymore. Not good for watch buyers.

    It came in handy when Justin sold his caliber 320. :D

    McAuliffe. Like the other famous reply to a surrender demand of General Cambronne, there is some question whether this is no a paraphrase, I believe.

    I win the Saxonia?
