Sounds like you are into some great stuff. The Daytona is truely the watch but not in my budget for 'Stuff" right now.
As for the Bulova and as most know me, everything has a story. I was in Topanga Canyon, Cal. at an antique show when I ran across a guy with a box of watches in a box of junk. This was 1982. I pulled it out from a bunch of junk and put it on the normal way and it looked funny. The guy told me that it was a drivers watch that is worn on the side of the hand but it didn't work. He wanted $100. We settled for $50. I took it to my NY watchmaker and he fixed it to perfection for $75. He told me that it was a contract case that was probably a salesmans sample that was probably never made in production and could be one of 10 to exist. I have never seen another one. I have been offered over $2500. That was at an antique show about 5 years ago.
The Le jour is very cool in person. The Smiths I found on ebay. It was as new. I also have a collection of stop watches which also include Heuer and Smiths.....Steve
