You can my friend!

Cheers!
Jerry,

I am not a watch collector. This would take my collection of watches to a grand total of three. ALso to buy them all would be almost US$200k

This watch will be a daily driver if you know what I mean...

I tried on the Carbon Ceramic recently and it is a beauty! I've always wanted the Carbon GP as well, but the limited aspect does drive the price up and it's a little bit too exotic for me.

This must be the most lop-sided poll by far. Almost all of you go for the carbon ceramic, one for the Arnie legacy and one for the GP. I guess it depends on what you already have in your collection which in my case is one stainless steel ROO and one Corum stainless steel diver's watch, so perhaps I could be a little more adventorous this time??

Howie,

You know in your case, its never the money. Its about where your PASSION lies. From Soulution to Kondo ... that spells more than US$200k. The Ongaku is already S$100k+ over here!

I am just pulling your leg about watches as I do know you are NOT YET into it. One day, perhaps you will. Seriously, I always thought I am a ONE watch man ... and TWICE I was proven wrong. Luckily, I am STILL a ONE WOMAN MAN!
Serious, swear on this one! I only fool around, at most a one month stand with HiFi!

I think the Ceramic is kinda nice while the rest have dials that are too "busy". As one gets more mature, the "busy" is harder to read! Apply to me!

Choose the one you love, then share the picture!

Cheers!
