Keep a close eye on your Kentucky, because I've got to tell you that I have seen them get a bit crazy!! Give these guys a little of the Kentucky Bourbon, and they can become different people. It starts with the chrono needles, then the whacky hands, and before you know it, the whole case has gone the "bling, bling" route.

So there's a wild man beneath the mild-mannered Kentucky gentleman . . . My Advice: keep it away from the firewater!!

: Thanks as usual Mark for the insights.

: The bracelet is symmetrical--24mm on both ends. I find it to be
: extremely comfortable. The links are broad and sit flat on the
: wrist and are definitely not pinchers. The really cool thing
: about the bracelet is the pin lock mechanism--you have to pull
: the pin out first, then snap the buckle down, and finally push
: the pin in which sets with a satisfying click. My only concern
: is that with repetition, the pin/spring mechanism will wear
: down, but we'll see.

: One interesting note: the price of the watch in 1978 was about
: $465, which inflated at 3% for 32 years would equal $1200 or so.
: In essence, this is a watch that has kept just about par with
: inflation, given their market range...
