    The more videos on it I watch the more excited I get, looking forward to doing some dev work on it too! But really its a small price to pay for the smugness that comes with paying for beers with your watch at a bar. Along with all the other little fun things it does :)

    Oh great. MORE time waiting to get served whilst someone is wasting time trying to pay for their lemonade and a packet of peanuts. Whatever happened to good old cash?

    Just ordered this from a collector in the UK:

    I fell for the cushion-case; and an Eterna-matic inside means it's full of gold!

    I highly recommend the roll; soft leather inside and out, holds 6 vintage watches easily. You'll find them anywhere from $60 to $100; 'Royce' leather roll for watches...I think I may order another one, 'cuz I still have watches just laying in the vault!

    New arrival (thanks to Kirill) - 145.022-69 pre moon... I'm usually a sucker for faded bezels, but I love the inky blackness of this one! Need to adjust the bracelet, but no time now, so the only question is which of the spare NATOs it goes on tonight!

    Got my 15,000 Gauss Saturday and went back today with my wife after the Moto GP in Austin and got the AT 30mm for her. Once again, the folks at the OB in San Antonio did a great job!

    Shipped via EMS Wednesday from the far east, and already arrived. Not up to @citizenrich 's EP-powered Gallet standards, but I do like the look of it. Gallet Multichron Pilot, Valjoux 72.

    When did something cool with V72 become sub-standard?! That's an extremely cool watch!!!

    So, the valjoux 72 is a well-regarded movement then? ::stirthepot::::bleh::
