    Like Lou said Jim - you're the Man.

    I'm out at the first of the Christmas bashes this afternoon, but this example that has spent almost its entire life in a drawer will be revealed tomorrow. :thumbsup:

    As promised, here is my AH3639. The condition is quite amazing and I can quite believe the seller when he says that it has been in a drawer for 40 of its 45 years. It is difficult to show just how bright and un-faded the dial, bezel and hands are and I do need to sort out the scratch on the crystal.

    This one shows the special long bracelet that, ?I presume would allow it to be worn on top of a wet suit. Unfortunately, it means that I can't adjust the bracelet small enough to wear so I guess my Defy is about to lose its ladder.

    Sweet! You know you can remove links. It is a PITA but can be done by opening the links with small needle nosed pliers

    Magnificent grab. :thumbsup:
    I'd keep the original bracelet original. Re-sizing always leaves mark and bent links.

    SInce this is in the "Open Discussion" section, does it have to be a watch? ;)

    Like Spock in "Star Trek", every three years or so, the car shopping madness takes over and I can focus on nothing else. That is over now.

    That's a stock photo, but my new baby is exactly the same. There are three separate manuals just for the infotainment system.

    I have some studying to do.

    This is the 428I, not the 435i. That would be overkill for me. Speed Racer, I'm not.

    Don't pay a lot of attention to the horsepower at 240. It's a lot for a 4-cylinder engine, but not overwhelming. Look at the torque at 255 lb.-ft. That's a lot for any vehicle and makes you smile when pressing the gas pedal.

    Edit - Just noticed your avatar. I drove the latest Mustang with the Eco-Boost. An engine slightly larger than the BMW with over 300hp. Pretty amazing. But no convertible yet, and the back seat (it's my only car and I do take clients out on occasion) is unsuitable for humans.

    Take care,
    gatorcpa

    Oh yes, plenty of torque there ;)

    I'm not a big fan of the newer Mustangs either - I prefer the earlier ones, such as www.1967mustang.dk :)
