Thanks Nico!
Without you uncovering and presenting all of these interesting timepieces I for one would certainly have a lot less exposure to and knowledge of such a wonderful array of watches. I really appreciate what you do, and hope you keep showing your own collect...

Always have a lot of admiration for Cricket alarms. Cheers JML
