Me too. I have four now and many CB750'S in the past. I miss the 1974 the most.

Wow, that bought back memories!
My first real bike (that I bought and was road legal) was a CB250 in 1971. (pic from the web)



I then moved on to a CB750K2. The turbine like engine was amazing after the parallel twin of the 250.

Another pic from the web, mine is long gone 馃檨

I was more bored than usual at work the other night so Mr. Big Spender dropped a "C" note on a couple of watches from an old stock collector in New Hampshire. Super nice guy. My wife loves the red one as a fashion watch! Happy wife, happy life and all that...

(My apologies for picture heavy post but pics seem to work better with you pros than my blabber mouth).

The Elgin was made in Japan circa 1981 and the Jubilee is a freak out reactionary watch from one of the big Swiss makers. 1973 and groovy. I love that it's made of brass and not gold plated. It's a very handsome RED watch. Go figure?

I've spent a hundred bucks on way worse things before. Constantly.

Predict the fashion trend your wife has identified will pass within weeks or months at most and you will get sole custody of this beauty soon!

Somebody Ban him....




Just kidding...

that is the 'MD's Watch' the #10 Museum piece..
Limited to 1938 pieces...

Something that I always knew I would have...

It commemorates my 10th year of Practice, and also the year that Action Comics #1 was first released....


please don't ask what Action Comics #1 is ....


HAHA!! well its gorgeous. Its always nice to reward yourself after reaching the important milestones. Congrats. I can talk comics all day long, but I think we'd have to bring that conversation to another forum.

Excellent! Anything with a sector dial is boiling hot right now.

Your new watch looks age perfect. Original lume looks great.
