A good woman makes the days go-slow, the night go fast and the years go sweetly by!!! Get a Seiko, some suspension upgrades, more HP and some track time. When you get good enough lots of people will keep time for you.

I like a nice watch but when you have something like that you need to hang out with other people who realize it's a 90K watch without being told. I have no such friends. I'll pass

I bought one of those in NYC once, the old GF bargained down from $25 to 2 for $30. Great watch!

In the next few weeks, there will be a presentation at Radcliffe of some crazy high end stuff for a group of collectors. Last year the JLC Triptique was there (on the left above) so I hope to see a Gyro this year. If you are interested, let me know and I can get you into the event I believe. Brand reps usually have swag of some sort too. If fondling 6 digit watches is fun for you, this is a must.

I can't believe that's so expensive--Dubovsky made one just like it in his living room (okay, it was a little larger...)
