Hi JJ,

I've seen 1,4, and 8 on your list. Saw all three versions of Milgauss but don't have any from your list.

I have seen them all and that means you should start to plan for the next Basel Show my friend.

Then I will buy you a beer or two at the same time I make the statement you are
at the same club like me.

Man, there are so many that I haven't seen. I would shorter to lists the ones I have seen. I'm only talking sports line. There are soooooo many variations of the Daytona. I've never held a SS Daytona, only seen them in the public. I have seen a black faced Milgauss.

I fear what will happen when I see that DD-II in PLT or WG w/ the light blue dial and the dark blue numerals. May just have to credit cards away for "safe keeping."
Not so concerned if I ever seeing the lepoard Daytona though.

Ditto here - Need to make a trip out to So Cal - You can see a good bunch of these. Saw every version of the Yacht Master in One AD last night including Yacht Master II. Also, the AD said that there sales person told them that the blue dial on the TT Yacht Master is the same color blue as the WG Sub. It's not the purple blue but nice...
