I KNOW I need a chronograph, but I really want one that does 1/10 of a second. A horse covering the last 3 furlongs in "35-38 seconds, hold on, let me shove my eyeball against the dial to be sure, that's probably 37 seconds" does not lead to me having the funds to buy as many watches as one that says "35.8." They had a Tag there that did tenths AND hundredths, on an analog dial, and it was in the discount case too (because it had been discontinued), but it was too big for my wrist.

The Pepsi may take a while for two reasons:

1) The vain hope that they come out with one that has a ceramic bezel.
2) The interchangeability of the bezel inserts means I actually have to do some research to make sure I'm buying the grail, and not a grail look-alike.

Now that the logic is out, and is proven sound, I think I can sleep soundly tonight. Last night, I was a bit fitful after watching the Redskins pull out a defeat in the last two minutes, and there must have been a draft in my room because I kept hearing a breeze that sounded like:

"I bet that SS/black-face Daytona is still be in their safe. They don't pull it out for everyone."

I just have to hope that when I go back to pick up the 16613 I'll find that someone already bought it.

Exp 2 Black, perfect.
Was my first & still favourite pc.
Now that your Rolex's are done, besides the Pepsi & Daytona, you may have to start looking at some Tudor's
