I agree with Bro JOS. I spent every single dime I had on a single watch and started flipping from there. I was just fortunate that I didn't have any urgent use for the money at the time.
Your ONLY job in this world is to make sure that you are happy

Looks like david did a very good job here of introducing so many MWF members in getting the 100th Ann Presage Limited Edition.
I personally know of 5 mwf members who hunted it down and bought it after david first posted it.

TJ, did you buy the Nomos Zurich or u just tried it on? This is one watch I'm looking for as well.

Ah Alba... will always be close to my heart as it was my first watch which I wore for a very long time. Still have it in my safekeeping.   ;D

Makes me wanna get one of the Seiko too! Am sure most of the forumers here are Seiko fans in one way or another. Let me start a thread to get a glimpse of those treasures.. be it hidden in drawers/safes or worn as beaters...  :Cheers:

The 4 other dials are more prominent... the M engine needs some "winding up"... the hands are pointing at zero...  :P

Thanks, and yes, it is for the dual time adjustment on the black dial face.
