i'm going to try to word this very carefully...

David was nice enough to email me the story (THANKS! David), and it was a very interesting and somewhat fascinating tale of being/doing the right things at the right time in the right place. i believe he does have one of the fifteen or has the mcqueen monaco? either way if mcqueen wore all 15 during filming, they would all be the mcqueen watch in my book. it doesn't matter what i think, because either way i got all the answers i wanted. which is all i really care about on this issue. please no flames or trouble starting as that is not my intention. just wanted to thank both David and Ron for the info.

j.h.
