Let's just hope "I'm a patient man" doesn't change to I used to be a patient man

Lusting after eh??
Lady in a blue dress??? Or the PAM98
I have just jynxed myself on the 98.
My AD has this inexplainable ability to have the watch I currently desire to show up in short order.
Started with the 113. I had a short list, she had only a few Pannies in, and one was the 113.
Later on it was the 212 or 210. Guess what, within 10 days both showed up. The 212 didn't do anything for me for that price, so the 210 came home with me that day.
I hind sight I should have bought the 212 & passed it on to someone, but I don't like to flip like that. Plus she appreciated the fact I didn't do that and let one of her other customers take it home.
So, Thanks JJ, I will be faced with a decision shortly, take the 98 home or let it slip away.......

Aw, JJ, I'll tell ya something that'll make ya feel better: if you did get the Daytona, that stationary second hand would drive you crazy by the end of the first day!

I'm not actually lusting for anything right now. However, if I was ever in the mood for a dress watch, a Lange 1 or Langematik would be nice.

Right. I have a feeling that he would go ahead and run the chronometer function all the time. It can be done, but it can actually slow down the watch after awhile. Oh well...

What is BKL on about now??? Wasn't that horrid Crossfart a test drive for the Daytona? Didn't he say he'd never get a Daytona because the stationary second hand would drive him crazy (not a long drive, btw).

That's it... I'll bet that JJ's name is on Mansor's list for a SS Daytona and he'll either buy it outright, sell the YM and the sub to finance it... or the YM will go in place of it.

You've got all of the above all wrong, Johnny. Nothing like that is going to happen. Worst case scenario....the TT YM may go, but that's it....some financial problems along the way. Trying desperately to hold on to the present two. The SS Daytona is ONLY lust....nothing else!
