Unfortunately this one is a tad more than 100 000$ (according to my source it's 128 000$...okay, maybe more than a tad! ) but the 5970J has pretty much everything I'd like to have on a watch!

Hey Carl! If I got the 5170J and you got the 5970J we'd be YG PP brothers!

5970 is quite nice gents but I would take a 1991 2nd series 3970J with large hallmarks all day long!! Super rare to find like this one - maybe a 100 or so configured exactly like this - a collector's dream! And yes more than $100k but in the ballpark $120K or so.

That watch was made for me...
I don't believe you one bit. You totally sound like an addict trying to score his next hit!

BTW, you have great taste in watches! In time, my friend, in time.

this is a pic of the watch i got in rose gold. Picture is not of my watch, but one from a blog site.



It has the most amazing vertical power reserve.

ironically, am in the process of selling it to a collector having just lost a sh!t load of money on JPM options. Thanks Mr. Dimon. Think I'll be sticking with the Daytona for now.
