. . . Americanness in the same vein, Andrew. Raw, ragged, and wickedly brutal - no one else would build a car so lacking in refinement, yet so perversely competent within its limitations. The originals are pretty much unobtainable today, but their reputat...  

Mercedes Gullwing 300SL and Omega Rose Gold Capped two-tone waffle dial 2648. Enjoy, Miki ...  

. . . with either, Miki. Funny thing: I know I've seen a gullwing somewhere other than a car show, but can't remember where or when. Mercury Cougar Eliminator sightings, split-window 'Vettes, Hemis, 911 S - you name it, I remember them all, and vividly, t... 

The Daimler 2 1/2 Litre V8 was the first new Daimler after Jaguar bought the Daimler Company in 1960. Jaguar used the best from both companies in this car; i n essence a Jaguar MkII body with a Daimler V8 engine. The Minerva and my Daimler from Dinky Toys...

Wow fantastic Tim. I was not at all expecting that level of detailing and finishing when I saw pictures of the prototype. It is now plainly obvious that K.M is on a path to horological greatness, and all is from the Pacific Northwest. You must be so excit... 

...most especially on your 'very early adopter' status for the KM. With his [very] low production numbers, presumably it will be quite a while before we see #2/30! As is so often the case, it seems, you are to be congratulated for spotting emerging talent... 

And will be residing in NYC with a fortunate chap. I am excited to receive this, possibly more than any prior watch. The process is amazing and I know you have done this with others, so you get it. Cheers, Tim
