Most of us here are just working guys, collecting these old Heuers . . . "tool watches", we often call them. But we love it when the big-time Wall Street guys drop in, especially when they have the big bonus money burning a hole in their pockets / wallets, and have the urge to buy a big, fancy watch, to impress the guy in the adjacent cubicle!! So maybe a NOS Monaco 1133B, with box and papers, will be just the watch for you!!
And speaking of Che, did you know that he was a consistent "Rolex guy", just like so many of your I-banker buddies! He wore his Rolex all the time!
So "Viva La Revolucion", best regards to EMS, and please have RBoot drop me a line (or send cash) when she is ready to buy you the Big Watch for the Big Event.

Readers: Sorry about this little side-bar / stream of inside jokes, but it is good that as least one of my five kids (or at least her friend, Alex) has finally shown some interest in Dad's hobby!!

: it may come close.
: October 8, 1871: The Great Chicago Fire
: October 8, 1943: Chevy Chase was born
: October 8, 1967: Che Guevara was defeated
: October 8, 2009: Emma's watch now reads October 8. That's right. I
: had the honor of correcting the watch of Jeff's daughter to read
: the correct date. No longer will Emma be stuck on Wednesday when
: it is really Thursday. No longer will Emma think that it is
: September 31st. Emma's sanity is saved. Oh what a night.
: P.S. In case you were wondering... it's a Raymond Weil RW Spirit.
