EL2 Week 5!!!

Week 5 Notes: Timekeeping is still spot on. Gaining a little, but that is expected. I did have one incident where I stopped the chronograph as the minutes digit counter was changing minutes. The minutes digit counter seemed stuck in transition and I was u...
When did you get an E60 M5?

I traded the Alfa for a Merc SUV and then missed a high horse powered sedan. So I got the BMW engine that is known to blow up!! LOL it's got 33K miles and no "check engine" light at this time. I don't drive it much anyways...

But I do have my eye on some of my Reversos to put on again, and I do need a 1931 soon and I am selfishly hoping the watch market to tank so I can afford one, LOLOLOL

Yes, the heft of a gold watch def let's you know its there, I guess for me, one good thing is I don't just bang it around on the train or in the office, or wherever else because its omnipresent to me. Surprisingly, the digital minutes counter is holding u...
