It was clear that I needed this watching my life. Who doesn't? How to differentiate myself from all the other posers with their Steel APROs though? With a two-tone gold and steel model of course! Not only does it look bad-ass, but it singles me out as a gentleman of excellent taste and class. I knew that me buying this watch would make Geoff furious, and green with envy. But I thought that's not enough. I want to make him apoplectic. So I went and bought pretty much the only other watch that Geoff would consider to be a Grail of his along with the AP – the urwerk 100."

    There - just add your pics and we're done.

    And charge more for the watch. I was shocked with what some Laco models cost today.

    There are 60 preordered already from a text I got from Rob a few minutes ago.
