    Wonderful gift from your daughter. I wish my kids were so culturally aware.

    From wikipedia - The photographs were taken in early December 1976 and the inflatable pig was made by the German company Ballon Fabrik and Australian artist Jeffrey Shaw. The inflatable pig was tethered to one of the power station's southern chimneys, but broke loose from its moorings and, to the astonishment of pilots in approaching planes, rose into the flight path of Heathrow Airport. Police helicopters tracked its course, until it landed in Kent.

    I remember this incident from when I was a kid in London.

    Thanks Fidel! I think the steel automatic Ebels are all pretty desireable. It's a bit different with the gold models but, for instance, this 2 tone Discovery Chrono is a work of art.

    Odd. All I did was fill out the form on line. They sent a verification link in an email, and it took about a week for it to arrive. And I've never purchased a VC watch (yet, anyway).
