Great Story / One BIG Question


OK, I'm sure that many readers are wondering, so I will ask the obvious question, realizing that you may prefer not to answer (which I will understand entirely):

He offered four BW watches . . . you indicate that you had enough money with you for a Monte Carlo purchase . . . was the price for these four BWs anywhere near the price of one Monte Carlo?

you are a lucky collector to find these four watches, at any price. if you found them for the price of a Monte Carlo (or even the price of two or three Monte Carlos), then this may be the best buy of the year!!

Cheers,

Jeff
