In Response To: Actually.... ()

: This is my favourite Rolex, a true tool watch, built for the heavy
: magnetic environment of a particle physics experiment at CERN:

: Maybe we should have a scan day called "I don't like Rolexes,
: but this is one I would buy"

: - I liked that one, perhaps you can post Nic.
