Thumbs up I am totally in awe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been looking for a Bulova Driver in nice condition for years! To me, it is the pinnicle of drivers watches. Where did you find it, when, how much (if you don't mind). It looks like it's in fantastic condition. Folks, if you don't know, you needed a 20s Bugatti to do it justice. My oh my.

The others are impressive as well. I'm especially impressed with the original Heuer, but the LeJour is beautiful. Where the he** did you find the Smiths?

As I posted in another thread (for your eyes--you may not have seen it), my "collection" (that's pushing it) is gauged towards my fat wrist (at least I didn't grow hair). No pictures unfortunately--haven't figured out how to do that yet.

-First limited reissue of the Heuer Monaco (not the more common second reissue). Love it to death. My wife thought it was ugly until she saw everyone wearing it in London a few months ago. You ought to try getting an oversized band (two actually-tan and black) from Tag in Switzerland--long phone call!

-I wear an Omega Seamaster Pro (big case-44) daily. Has the black wave face (not Mr. Bond's blue). Love the pressure release valve since I go down in diving bells daily (ha). Tough dam* watch. Auto reserve of over 40 hours!

-My current favorite: My Panerai. Huge. The lever. The box. The interchangeable bands with the jeweler's screwdriver. Bought it at the Bellagio after a nice little run of blackjack. Love opening up the Robb Report for the last two years and seeing it on the inside front cover (actual size) while I'm wearing it.

-Have money holding my place in line for a stainless Daytona (2 years/I have six months or so to go). It'll be my first Rolex; never held much interest in them before. I have an agent looking for an early Speedmaster as well.

--Pens: Use a black Jorg Hysek with a tan holster (damn near Harttman) daily. Numerous fountain pens (Auroras, early Pelicans, etc.). Have a MontBlanc Masterstuck Anniv. (rose gold/sterling with diamond) for signing sh*t (just to impress) and looking for an early Poe.

But my oh my, that Bulova of yours just knocks my socks off big time.

I give you many many sheep....
