I feel a bit dirty for how bad I violated my bank account, though.

That's not in USD. It's only about $350,000 USD or so.

You are secretly $1,000,000 in debt to the IRS? What do I win?

But seriously, nice stuff. I like the eggs the best (didn't I PM you a while ago about this? )

I've seen those eggs before in another thread. He posted some good info on them, but I can't seem to find that thread now.

It's called a "bark" finish. Was pretty popular in the 80's. A few friends of my father's had it. Could be from the factory or done at the AD.

Most of these timepieces represent a triumph of disposable income over taste. (i.m.h.o.)

Couldn't agree more. Money buys a lot of things, but taste isn't one of them. Leave the diamonds to the ladies.

No matter what your opinion about diamonds on watches, they're sure fun to look at!

LoL. I sorta agree to this but there are people that do justice to these "bling" watches. Wealth is relative.

It's interesting to me how many people think that if someone else's taste isn't the same as theirs, then it must be bad (instead of just different).

I have another slant on the taste question. I tend to believe it's bad taste to go on a public watch forum and insult other people's watches.

Some members think that this is blingy. I didn't think so when I chose it, but now I am not so sure. What do you think?

There is nothing 'blingy' on the watch.
