Congrats, you will be in heaven for a long time looking at that thing. Remember, keep your eyes on the road, I seriously wonder how many accidents were caused by some WIS looking at his watch while driving. I know I have almost rear-ended someone looking at my laser etched crown while driving, it always jumps out at me when the sun hits it driving down the road.

Nakow - sounds like you got a good deal too. I was surprised that the big ADs were not willing to discount a dollar and the smaller guys were all willing to discount at least 5%-10%. I guess the down economy is really hurting the little guy.

Man I have a bad feeling I am going to want to start having a collection of watches once I see how much I am enjoying this one. I was actually looking at a PAM 161 and 171 those are really nice looking watches - but $10K is kinda steep! Can't wait to get my WATCH!

GMTJOHNNY - What is retail on the YG version? In addition, I see all of these guys indicating there model as if it were an M or a Z etc., and I don't know what that means. If mine has the ceramic bezel etc., I did get the most up-to-date version - right??? Looks like all the picks I have seen -green hand and writing on the dial etc. Thx!
