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

The price of a kidney on the US black market is apparently $262,000.

Yes, one kidney left but a helluva watch collection! I shouldn't joke though as nothing more valuable than your health.

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.

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

A Roger Smith but as this would require a lottery win and a 6 year wait....

I'd settle for a Tudor Ranger! :D

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.

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 forum :)

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 time :lol:

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