Marc... i see you coming here!
After "what do your face look like", the where to you get your time from post is soon to be on its way...

Personaly, i find rolexes to be too big for my delicate rugby player arms/wrist so... rado ceramica is the "nightout", and longines with dual time (of course on different time zone, currently Paris and Manilla) the daily timer!

regarding "re-decorating" the hood with live item...well wich such a slope, you might have to use some kind of leather rope to hold everything tight and secure especially if you are washing up the baby!

Watches, women, rock‘n roll and Porsche, but please, only the real stuff!!.. I’m a sort of collectioneur type of guy myself, and so, another passion to spend money on. I have a Speed- master Oyster all stainless bracelet, and white gold with a black Face and Gold hr/min/sec hands, which “zzzzz” by Gold barrettes, and of course, the original Sapphire and not glass facing. I only just had its oil changed (revision) very, very, but it’s for life like my 911/964.. GREAT PHOTO!! Only an artist could take a pic like that!! All the best, Marc A

PS. I wear my IWC, Mark XV everyday, the Rolex(1970) only when I'm dancing...

Hey, on the loose, With the, Rado Black Ceramica, at least the time is always correct, radio signal controlled (?)... The older Rolex is a cool watch, they don't have the time anymore to produce what used to be, sounds like our cars, BTW, did you ever read my story on my site, about "used to be"? You okay, my Rugby Man ??, I wish I could type with two fingers!! All the best, Marc

I think bzh was just referring to the balance required for dancing!

My favorite watch was found on the road , it had been driven over by more than one car , the glass does not have any unscratched area , the back is pushed in . Nothings broken , runs fine .
It has "navy seal" on the face .

I have a ~30 year old Submariner that's accurate to about 30 seconds a month, and if I took it back to have it re-regulated I'm betting they could get it even closer. But hey, it's a mechanical device, that's close enough. Any quartz movement should be more accurate by at least an order of magnitude, maybe a few orders, so objectively, the quartz is WAY better. But it's about the mystique, man...like a 911, maybe?

Are you sure it was a watch, and not a calculator ??
