Man, you have like ZERO self-control. You're back to step one, my friend.

Congrats on the good score. It really isn't one I even remotely like, but hey, that's what makes this hobby so much fun.

Enjoy and wear it in good health. BTW, wear it into a strip club and see if the girls think it's real.

LOL, thanks John. The girls in a strip club recognizing my watch would be the least of my problems if I were to go into one now

On the self control part, it doesn't help that my wife is as bad as me wrt watches!

Bruce, congratulations on the DJ Quartz, damn nice looking watch and BNIB at that price, even if it is discontinued. To me this means 1 less DJQ on the open retail market!

Maybe you should consider yourself lucky. Having one partner whose not into this craziness is better for your bank account!

Thank you Earl! Who knows what the value of these will be, but that's not why I bought it. I just really really like it!
Cheers,
