Not sure why anyone would be wanting to copy this thing but having trouble finding an example with which to compare it:

I can't seem to convince my wife of the same thing.

I tried to get my Seiko fixed but my watchmaker said he can't get the back off without destructive measures so we decided to leave it as is. Runs very fast and isn't magnetized. 🙁

I'm looking at another stainless Longines in a normal shape too. But I really like this crazy 70s disco tonneau lol

I believe Cannon drove a Lincoln Mark IV.

He also had a cellular phone in his car…in 1971!

Used to hang out with a friend who had one of those. License was BETTY. 460 V8 smoked tires for fun. Opera windows and a Cartier clock.
