In complete agreement, I always found it an incredibly elegant VC! Looks like our friend KMII has one...I'd probably never sell it if I were him, but just in case you could give it a try :-)
A quirky alternative to a JLC Reverso or a Cartier Tank. I think it says a lot about the wearer. I've seen very few people with that watch on their wrist, and every time, I remember thinking: "That must be an interesting guy".
