    Totally IN-LOVE With This..........

    Sadly, I will never be able to afford a $20,000+ watch and one with a 2824-2 no less, but this is just so "uber" cool that if I had the money, I'd own one.

    This is the Ressence Type 3 Liquid Filled Crystal and I think it's simply terrific!

    I love it but not for that price. Maybe gently used, once it has depreciated by at least half

    Sometimes you see something that shouts to you. This is one of those times. This piece simply shouts buy me buy me. I can't (or won't) but shouting at me it is!

    They have a less expensive one, the Type 1, that is similar. Still not cheap (a little over $20k instead of over $30k), but hey, what's $10k amongst friends...

    So it's like a hooker. They shout at me when I drive by but I know I can't have one so I just try and ignore it.

    Well, unlike a hooker, who will likely give you a present you won't appreciate and will require antibiotics to cure, the Ressence Type 3 would likely be much much safer and simply be super cool strapped to your wrist!

    In other words, both of them are gifts that keep on giving!

    Thanks I saw it and it's also pretty cool. The type 3 simply speaks to me and honestly, there hasn't been much that has lately.

    One could certainly look at it that way. I'd take the later, not the former. But maybe that's just me.........LOL
