17% OFF on an ALS Tourbograph Pour Le Meriter!!!
Reduced from $600K to $499.995K - YES!!!!

Now to figure out how to actually get the money for such...

Haven't perfected my formula for winning at Poker yet (maybe if I learned to play - I'd be able to get somewhere there)...

Scrapped the bank robbery idea...

Hmmmm...what to do - what to do...

Description:
The Tourbograph Pour Le Merite (this model in Platinum) is the sequel to the original Lange Tourbograph and is the most complex Lange wristwatch made to date.
It commemorates the 15th anniversary of the reopening of the Lange manufactory.
Each watch takes a staggering 30-days to assemble and only one of these timepieces will leave the manufactory per month until 101 watches have been made - 51 pieces in platinum and 50 in gold.
This remarkable watch is an collector's fantasy.
The 2006 Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix recognized the incredible Pour le Merite Tourbograph by awarding it and the firm A. Lange & Söhne the Special Jury Prize.
The Tourbograph'Pour le Mérite' was chosen by readers of the German Sunday newspaper Welt am Sonntag and specialist watch magazine Armbanduhren as 'Watch of the Year 2007'

Sapphire-crystal glass and caseback.
Strap: Hand-stitched crocodile with platinum ardillon buckle
Movement: Calibre L903.0. Manually wound.
Fusée-and-chain transmission.
Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Power Reserve (36-hour power reserve), Tourbillon (visible through an aperture at 6 o'clock), Rattrapante Chronograph (Split Seconds).
The Tourbograph Pour le Mérite features a 1/6th of a second chronograph that consists of two delicate superimposed sweep hands.
Both hands can be used to additively time events, the duration of which may be up to 30 minutes. Any number of lap times may be calculated with the split-time mechanism.

Great watch, but it could as well be made in unobtainium.

I think Ken means that there's no chance of him buying it from a grey website dealer

Ken's buying off his AD sources... he wants the manuf warranty...

that's what he meant, I'm sure

Alright Ken, I accept the offer!
