Ulysse Nardin Chrono......GONZO!!!!!!!!!!
That is right, I have traded/sold off the latest addition, much to the anticipated anger of Ed.
But what is coming is a true classic that has already stood the test of time. Not a watch that I thought I would want, but alas I am just flat out drawn to this watch. I fought hard with this decision, and in the end after talking it over with Bruce on the phone today, I know I made a very sound decision. I based my criteria on what I really want in a watch and not some wild ass goose chase which is what I have been on. I told Bruce on the phone today, I am not sure if this one will make me happy, but it sure as hell won't disappoint. Unfortunately the watch will arrive on Wednesday, fortunately I worked it out that it is being shipped to my brothers house in Hawaii. So I will have two watches on vacation afterall. So that gives about three and a half days of guessing. I will give one clue, I have never owned this watch before, although I owned one that is almost identical in the past. Cheers!

Hey Daren. I liked the UN but if it didn't smile all that much at you then you made the right choice. Can't wait to see the new one.

No JJ, the difference is, if I don't like something I don't force it, I just move it along.

I refuse to let it bother me, you ungrateful young whipper snapper. Just for that, you have moved down the list below Paul.
But it doesn't phase me at all that you got rid of that beauty, not at all.

Ah c'mon Ed, we have history, those other tossers are fly by night, they are just after your money. I am in it for the love and family.

I believe that puts me in pole position. Too bad, so sad, Daren. BTW, my guess is that you've got a PAM90 or a 93 on the way. Hmmm, or maybe a tobacco dialed base. Last edited by Atomic; 16 January 2006 at 11:26 PM.. |
