Talk about not f**king around this is another serious piece in your collection!!! Thanks for the leads you have sent me, however, I haven't even nailed down a complete reasonably priced 1655 piece yet and you are on your second historical horological example... This is the stuff legends are made of! Congrats sir and enjoy her when she arrives!

Ready when you are Kyle!!! We will take good care of you!! Unpolished--mint dial--fat lugs--razor sharp chamfers--I think that would be a great birthday gift from family!! Maybe everyone on TRF could chip in $5 dollars and we get you over the top!! I am in if everyone else is!! Or we can make a deal--if you get straight A's on next report card and post it--we all chip in $5 and you can pay our friend Andrew a visit!!
