I've wanted the Yacht-Master for a long time - but while I'll buy myself a new engine at the drop of the hat -- I'm not good at "self gifting" stuff -- so I put that kind of stuff "off".... I'm lucky Alex is a good shopper with Gwen's blessing (and bank account). HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA. I have a "couple" others I wear once in awhile -- a U Boat Chimera Steel 46mm.... picked up in Monaco when we did the 75th Grand Prix there..... It's so big on my wrist I have to add training wheels when wearing it. And a Chopard that is - of course - car related - since it is a Mille Miglia in Rosso Corsa (matched the paint on the '32 Highboy). I love that watch - but they're really not very good watches...

I'm sure there are a lot of guys here, that are in to watches.... They're fun! And there's so so many of them! OMG.

Training wheels!!!!!! HAHAHAHHAA

Very nice collection! Have you thought about a Daytona? or do you have one of those already?

Love all the pictures your kids are posting, you’re looking pretty sharp and don’t look a day over 65!

Congratulations on making another birthday on this side of the grass!
Xoxo
