Just days after I forked over the final wad of cash for the 168.009 on the brick bracelet, a watch that's on my dream list pops up:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/120901924131?ru=http://www.ebay.com/sch/Wristwatches-/31387/i.html?_nkw=120901924131&_rdc=1#ht_12604wt_1299

Son of a 馃が!!! I don't 馃がing believe it!

馃馃く !!!
Sell the house, buy this bad-boy (the interior is positively badass, matches your taste perfectly)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1968...RVs_Campers&hash=item3cc56d35ab#ht_500wt_1182

Then get Breguet and Patek shopping, far less for the Mrs to clean as well.

We have similar tastes but alas big gap on the case sizes. If this were any of the Chopard 42mm, I'd gladly buy it and keep till you find the cash for it. Alright, I will wear it as well while waiting (guilty as charged) :whipped:

45 minutes left and it's sitting at $5K. On another forum I put it at $5K minimum, $5.6K probable, and 6.2K max so let's see if I'm tuned to the market still. If it goes over that I won't feel bad. If it stays under the probable price I'll 馃がing kick my own a馃が up and down the G馃が d馃がed street all night. Pissed.gif

It's Kal, and he's got a sweet E.P. he chose over a Chopard LE last year.

Kal, did you ever buy that Overseas?

There she is... Has been making me smile from the second I got it. Still does. The decision was between her and a 1937 LE:

The Chopard claimed higher price at the time, so I figured - let's give it time and it shall appear properly priced on the secondary market, like that 1.96 Denis is drooling over.

Plus a 3.96 movement - not the more desirable and better finished 1.96 movement which by several accounts is patek and lange in quality with the geneva seal to boot.
