el presidente 1803's

Started the search, it's time. Thinking it would make a nice holiday gift to my self.

Prices are not as bad as I thought, any words of advice

Definatly on a bracelet, I'm not a strap guy. Champagne Dial for sure

sharp edges, tight bracelet, and corrosion free dial/hands.

spend a little extra on a really great one. you'll get more out of it in the long term.

good luck!
