Icon2 It's always the way...

You see a watch that you would love to own...
But you have no money!

You have some money to spend...
But you can't find the watch you want!

It's a vicious cycle indeed!

Hang in there Clay. If it makes you feel better, my average wait time for a watch is 3 years!

There is nothing more wonderful than still having something to want.

Very sad, yes, but worse in my opinion is

having a grail you love and then having to sell it off because of the "itch" only to find the scratch does not diminish the selling of the first :-(
Heck,we're all crazy anyway. I think its from the radiation from the dials!
Best to all.. M
