    Its even more impressive when they have gemological report completed on diamonds small enough to belong in a snow globe, but I've seen a semi-diamond pave TAG Heuer ladies Aquaracer with exactly that.

    I'm not even called Tracy, so wouldn't be any good to me :)

    I might know a Tracy but I think her goldfish died in 2005 so it wouldn't have been a happy year for her and this would be an unnecessary reminder of that fateful day Bubbles got flushed

    A better fate by far than the "Bubbles" whose demise I witnessed at a party one night in my youth.

    Young men, booze, dares, what more do you need.

    Take one "Bubbles" from the host's tank, take one Jatz from the table.

    Well, you can guess the rest............................

    I look at it as a nice patina. Am I missing something? :whistling:

    This bozo is too funny. I wouldn't pay a dime for that monster.

    At least get the dial (applied) correct. That's the least that he could have done.

    From the sellers description

    "NOT SOME SKETCHY OVERSEAS SELLER OR THIRD PARTY BRINGING COUNTEFEITED STUFF FROM EASTERN EUROPE, ARGENTINA, PERU OR CANADA."

    Canada?

    What the hell did Canada do to this guy?

    He's in California and considers Canada "overseas". So much for the "No child left behind" act.
