Nanuq Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 It is a purchase of a lifetime! Roger that. After the wee mountain elves finished carving this beastie from a cold block of steel they put down their tools, wiped their hands and stepped back to admire it. "Well that's it," one murmured in awe. "We've achieved perfection. Now we're done." And they went off to open a Land Rover plant, where they carve engine blocks from cold blocks of aluminum to this day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJo35 Posted July 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Thank you to all who responded. If it weren't for my friends here at RWG, I never would have learned what I have, and would probably still be wearing canal st reps! To me, this watch is certainly a pinnacle, and the find of a lifetime. The watchmaker at the shop I bought it from was kind enough to remove the caseback while I was there. What I found underneath was jewel-like, and absolutely beautiful. Thanks again to all who wished me well with it. I'm wearing it now, and still can't believe I have such a masterpiece on my wrist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Ewwwwwwwwwww, it's a SIXTY-THREE ??? You're kidding, you'd want one of those after all the reports of skipping records, late credit card payments, dog poo on the carpet and stopped up toilets? Everyone knows the '63 is the source of all that calamity. Seriously, you're best to avoid that particular year at all costs. 'Course being the Good Samaritan that I am (cough) I'll be glad to dispose of it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
