Just curious...
It seems that the bulk of discussion revolves around highly complicated or " very hard to get" pieces and I sense the simple watches for some reason don't measure up for discussion. So I would like to see if there is some interest in 3796's (my favorite) 3923's, gondolo's, etc. anything using the 215 or the automatics.
