: I'll take that bullet Shaun, step aside and remain safe from the
: snipers.
: About that grail gentlemen............................well, it was
: worth it to me when I bought it
: and its still worth it to me now. I have no intention of selling
: the watch so the price is really irrelevant at this point.
: Its a watch that continues to be a grail for me and that probably
: won't change. I'm a confirmed Speedmaster nut
: and continue to buy them, and, I probably won't be satisfied till I
: own one of every model. Thats probably going to
: be near impossible but I'm a relatively young man so there is
: plenty of time.
: I have no idea where the current prices on watches is going, seems
: they have not stabilized at all and continue
: to plummet. Good deals to be had out there in the used market and
: you got to think that the ADs for the luxury
: brands have got to be scrambling to sell the high line stuff. As
: referenced by David, Sam and I watch shopping
: on Thursday afternoon, there are deals in the 40% to 50% off range.
: Wish I had some funds to spend.
: On the concrete/economy/Obama thing................I'd rather not
: discuss is as it makes others of a less conservative
: nature angry. I'm all about change..............right now I'm
: trying to keep what change I have left. How about some
: of that stimulus? Stimulus is not spending money you don't have,
: its getting people to spend money they do have
: and thats not happening. Its sorta like sending the White House my
: American Express and telling them to spend me
: into bankruptcy. I find the current administration with its world
: views, economic
: views and moral compass very distasteful. The treatment of our
: armed services is at the very least, reprehensible. I'll leave
: it at that.
: I thoroughly enjoyed breakfast guys, interesting and diverse and no
: one without something to say. I hope I get
: invited back after the above mentioned thoughts. Someone else
: opened that door so I felt compelled to comment.
: Please see the results of the bank stimulus below.
: Many thanks to Sam and Jeff for putting this GTG on, but lets try
: to find a place next time that doesn't charge
: 10 bucks for a bowl of grits.
: Thanks guys for having us.

Just pickin on ya a little Jimmy. When something as rare as a grail come availible, it's no time to be a chisler. Now, exactly how
many of these watches have you missed by sitting and thinking about the purchase? On a lighter note, the pre owned market is rich
with deals right now. I had planned on buying a few pieces this year, two of them came availible for about 40% cheaper than this same
last year. So, I made the purchase. They may be less expensive next year, but I didn't want to take that chance. Say Jim, just what did
you pay for that watch?? OH, before I forget, I know this cat that paid quite a bit of coin for a gold Seamaster............David
PS: Cool pic!
