Lol the kidney is safe and don't think it would have covered the cost. Shows style can't be bought.

Yes, one kidney left but a helluva watch collection! I shouldn't joke though as nothing more valuable than your health.My Name Is Pete wrote:That's almost tempting....Dancematt wrote:

Re: The "what watch are you day dreaming about now" thread
How much. Don't think I could bring myself to spend that amount on a watch collection. Don't think I know enough top end watch's I like, or would consider wearing everyday, when the price goes to far north I'd be too scared of damageing it and I don't see the point in spending a fortune to keep it in a safe.A Watch should be worn.

Nah. You can live fine on one kidney. It grows to compensate for the loss of the second one.Thegreyman wrote:Yes, one kidney left but a helluva watch collection! I shouldn't joke though as nothing more valuable than your health.My Name Is Pete wrote:That's almost tempting....Dancematt wrote:

I know; I do (lost it in an argument with a surgeon's scalp, 7 years ago, as a consequence of the big C).

Nothing too fancy but I'm looking at one of these to replace my for sale Eterna.
36mm, grab and go quartz for any occasion. A little expensive but I like it.

Re: The
Guy, yes of course you are right about the kidney's regenerative powers. One of my friends received a transplant from his sister that probably saved his life. Glad you got through that ordeal and we all can benefit from your contribution to the forumBahnstormer_vRS wrote:Nah. You can live fine on one kidney.

Read the story of them Dave and very interesting - nicknamed Slytech after a watch made for Sylvester Stallone; they seem to come as a pair, one made for the left hand and one for the right hand with the crowns on the different sides. Are you planning to wear two watches at the same timeWinnie Bloo wrote:What a lovely pair.

They look very smart, other than those plastic bezels in the photo which look a little cheap
