watch. The finishing, blending of old and new elements in such an artistic way, create a style that really appeals to me. It is a great watch to wear and

Best to all,

Really looking forward, now, to the PuristS Edition 1963 Chrono. (And hoping the wait won't be too much longer!) Best, CaliforniaJed

Sounds like the tyres on my bicycle. I'm switching from a pair of Schwalbe 'Racing Ralph' to 'Rocket Ron' tyres soon. :-) MTF
