路路惟F InvestiGatorI liked the original commercial better:
Transformers? Really?
I like Kias. Nice well made cars for the money. High resale value. The dealer took out my father's lease a full year early and put him in another Optima at the same payment with no out-of-pocket.
I'm sure Windy will love it.

路I could never drive a car like that. I'm such a lousy driver!
I love it though. Have fun driving it although will have to wait at least another 6 months to take full advantage馃槑.

路路Adam @ 惟FHamilton Gladstone in white gold-fill, from about the early '30s. It's surprisingly difficult to find an all-original Gladstone in fine condition, without brassing or poor dial/hands. I say surprisingly because overall this is a relatively common watch to find (about 16,500 wgf and 4600 green gf produced) -- but the wide bezel was apparently very susceptible to wear from starched shirt cuffs! I previously owned another wgf with perfect case but refinished luminous dial, and ggf with very apparent brassing on the bezel corners. It also came with a much less common enamel-printed stylized Arabic numeral dial (which I'd love to find someday). But overall very happy with this one! It's a large watch by vintage standards.
This is the enamel-printed dial not often found:

路One of the legendary 662 Ref. 32A's produced in 1966 and 1967 with it's original strap.
Girard-Perregaux manufactured 662 wristwatches with the Calibre 32A High Frequency movements, which beat at 36,000 BPM. All 662 movements were sent to the Neuchatel observatory who tested in 6 positions and 3 temperatures then certified them as Chronometers and issued Bulletins de Marche for each unit with the additional commendation of 'especially good results'. These 32A's were not specially prepared slow beat movements
that were never intended to be publically sold. These were production watches that were all sold to the public.
Girard Perregaux selected 40 of these movements for further testing by the Neuchatel Observatory. These 40 movements were tested for another 45 days, it was these 40 that became the legendary Girard Perregaux Observatory Chronometers.
