Come on, guys...time to let our imaginations run wild!!

Okay guys, have done this before....but with the number of newbies aboard....time for a little dreaming and letting our minds run wild!!

Your beautiful Fairy Godmother comes down and grants you 3 wishes....but YOU MAY CHOOSE ONLY ONE!!

Which one would you choose?

1. A brand new SS Rolex - remember, SS only - any model, except the SS Daytona!!

2. A week at the Royal Hilton with a gorgeous lady...all expenses paid.....and a brand new OMEGA Seamaster at the end of it all.

3. A full day at a Formula One race track with Alonso + a chance to drive TEN laps around the track in a Formula One car + a brand new OMEGA Speedmaster at the end of it all.

Gentlemen, take your pick - remember, only ONE!!

Cheers - JJ

I'll take what's behind curtain number 2.

Alonso isn't my type and for 300 bucks I can drive a NASCAR at the track for 10 laps..

'Course, I might be dead after a week at the Hotel...But they could bury me with that SMP strapped on...


(Is this a trick question ?)

Number 2 because when I would be driving that Formula 1 car my mind would wonder off to that hotel and woman, next thing I know is getting hit by a wall.

It WAS a trick question, nr 2 is a Seamaster and nr 3 a Speedmaster!
Didn't see that :(

No. 3 without hesitation. Even though I am a die hard Ferrari fan and Alonso and McCheater team are A**holes, the chance to do laps 10 in a formula 1 car...wow

Off course you'd have a better chance of getting a BJ from Pamela Anderson than being left anywhere near a current F1 Car LOL...but we can dream!

Number 2 because I always regretted selling my Seamaster.
No other reason.

It would be nice to go the Japan track. Perhaps item #3 should indicate a track of your choice and # laps that you can do

If its just a regular F1 track, I'll opt for door #1 and that is any SS Rolex.

I would get myself the 116710 GMT II ceramic! I'm closing my eyes and willing this wish to come true!

Guys just so you know in $$$ terms No.3 is vastly more than 1 or 2. If you were allowed rent a current f1 (Would never happen BTW) car for 10 laps. I estimate this would cost hundreds of thousands.
