Not that much could be done about it now, but what would get your heart racing?
An auto chrono. It's been mentioned before, and yes it'd be expensive, but you asked 8)

That's a book I cannot afford to buy - I can do enough damage to my wallet on my own, thanks! :lol:

Re: Nearly New Sale

Just came in here to see if I was the only one that got burned on trusting the email link. :( Hopefully the W7 is still available.

Define 'inexpensive'

The Ball quoted retails for about $1700 I think. Oris makes a few that can be had for $1K-$1500 as well.

I'm wearing an Oris Artelier Complication today, day/date/moon phase/GMT, retails for around $1500 but can be found for much less.

That's probably the best thing. Imagine if you let yours go, then saw one in the flesh later and REALLY liked it? :shock:

Re: What is your 2008 watch-wishlist?

I just got my C6 T3 2 weeks ago, with an LE on order. My C3 is in for repair, and the C5 is on my wrist this morning :) This is more of a 'to-buy' list: - Guinand Regulator and the Model 11 w/bronze face (will order 1 this week) - Rolex Submariner w/Date (probably next year) - Stowa Antea Small Sec...
