Well, you know your racing history & the world is safe - no Hurricanes at this end (Triumph or Armstrong). We did mostly old Jags & Triumphs with a couple of Lotus & MGs along the way.

Thanks. This 1 is not driven much either. These days, it gets driven mainly to car shows.

Brooklands Green with factory hardtop & electronic overdrive - a rare beast, indeed

Brightight - I just spent several minutes trying to write yet another apology. But the more I read your comments, the more confident I feel that my original comment (& subsequent apology) was correct. You posted pics of a well-vintagized POS. I made a joke, which you did not appreciate. Noted. Done. Let us move on.

Sorry, but I bailed on the SDDS some time ago (not my style) & do not have 1 on hand to check. My guess is that the 'valve' functions (moves), but I would not trust it to either function to gen specs or to be watertight.

:( :(

Think faded jeans, sneaks & a t & the Smurf works. Love that pic (& watch)

Looks good, but I am not sure I see much of an improvement over other recent versions of this watch (which already look great).

With all due respect, Bright, the point I was trying to make (by way of a joke) is that your watch has so many things wrong with it (&, by wrong, I mean inaccurate, low-end, damaged, cock-eyed, off-center..........the types of things I see on broken Canal Street watches that people bring in for repair & few of the things we normally see on any watch here)) that I saw nothing to be gained by itemizing its collective problems. And adding your brilliant vintagizing (which I have complemented you on elsewhere on the basis of a much better watch) is not going to turn this sow's ear into a silk purse. For better or worse, here, on RWG, I am used to seeing a much different (higher) level of rep. So, when you post a set of pics like these, it seemed to me that the only reasonable response (since I did not want to dump a litany of complaints & criticisms onto such a new member) was to post a light-hearted joke. And, again, I am sorry if the use of sarcasm offends you.

The saucers came from the MBW/MBK galaxy

What? Pasting the 2nd 3 over the 1 in '31'? Or did you photoshop something else?

(ol' flat-top)

Gentlemen, you are too kind. I am just 1 of a number here who listen (to others' experiences), look (at how things work) & learn (mostly, by mistake). And I still think that watch looks like it got mugged on Canal Street.

I like the smurf Sub myself, but I would hold off for a better rep. That 1 looks pretty cheesy to me.

Is true

Sorry, I was not aware of that.

I posted a version of this a year or 2 ago, but I had somehow 'mislaid' the original (color) pics so I think the original got posted in black & white. A friend just located the original pics on her computer & I thought they were worth reposting as a mindless distraction to end a long work week on (please ignore if you already saw the original post). No one would have believed in the early years of the 21st century that our world was being watched by intelligences greater than our own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns, they observed and studied, the way a man with a microscope might scrutinize the creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency, men went to and fro about the globe, confident of our empire over this world. Yet across the gulf of space, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic regarded our planet with envious eyes and slowly, and surely, drew their plans against us.

Yes, that was in my mind at the time, but the setup was just too obvious to let the opportunity pass me by. My apologies if I offended you.

Or the 333rd (nudge nudge wink wink).

Due to the current economy (which I understand is particularly bad in Vegas), I think Kruzer's upper range sounds about right for Tourneau (not generally known for having a very pliable attitude when closing deals). But I guess it all depends on how well that particular store is doing. If he does get the watch, be sure to get some wristies - those are nice watches.

Thanks. Too bad they do not make them like that anymore (now, they all seem to be 'man-made' ).

A real beauty (for a woman) & worth the wait. Well done & I am sure she will love it.
