    Yes, Thomas is correct.
    It is a Torgoen T16. It is quartz, but just up there for the visual effect. The other 6 on display have Auto's on them :)
    I caught a nasty cold yesterday, I couldn't speak.
    As the evening rolled around and my wife and oldest daughter kept
    talking to me and I couldn't answer, it was getting frustrating.

    Susie: "Daddy, why aren't you talking to me?"

    Daddy: "Susie, dear, I have a cold (whispered it, the only way I could get anything vocals to come out."

    Susie: "But why aren't you talking to me?"

    I'm better today :)

    Have a great weeekend coming up.
    Safe driving to everyone

    The New Laco Flieger LE just landed.

    A few changes:
    Crown has been changed to a period correct non screw down crown.
    They are going with their heritage and making the watch without a screwdown crown now just like it used to be made.
    42mm case
    Swiss Automatic 2824
    Caseback is engraved "Made in Germany," whereas before it only said it on the inside of the caseback.
    Comes with the military strap and an extra strap with tang buckle.
    Special packaging.
    This is Limited Edition with the date "deleted" Like the orig. :)

    (928 Ltd Edition just thrown in there to beautify the pic :D )

    Special intro price $599
    3 available

    More Laco's here

    Just arrived in White

    http://www.valenciatimecenter.com/index.php?cPath=182

    --From Casio--
    http://www.casio.com/products/Timepiece/G-Shock/GW6900_Series/product/GW6900A-7

    This new Solar Atomic model is based on the original DW6900 model, G-Shock’s best-selling case design.
    With this model, a Solar Atomic Timekeeping system was employed without changing the basic design of the watch.
    This makes it possible to generate power to keep the watch running with extreme accuracy and minimal exposure to normal lighting.
    This simple design was achieved by eliminating as much coloring and decoration as possible and the result is a model that captures the essence of the basic G-Shock. Black Resin Band and a Digital Dial Code.

    $110 for Fchat for a limited time.
    Please mention Fchat in the email

    Keeps your eyes peeled here tomorrow.

    This Rolex 6085 from the 50's in Solid 14kt gold has just been restored by my watchmaker.
    Absolutely STUNNING and a rare specimen.

    I don't have my camera, so the pics will be up tomorrow.
    I don't think it should stick around too long at the price I will offer.
    Price is going to very aggressive.. I searched for quite a while, i have not found ONE in this condition, in 14kt gold. There are a few SS models for around $2k.
    All are in crappy condition. This is a gem.

    Get ready, this is truly a rare find.
    If you want to do some research, it's a 6085, movement is the rare Rolex Caliber 645.

    The watch is mint!

    I have a mate here that just bought an 88 Porsche 928 S4. He has always wanted one and finally got around to buying one. Its dark blue with black leather. :):)

    I will ask him if he is keen on one of these watches. :):)
