No kidding. I'm not sure, but I think you beat even my biggest flurry of buying.

The exchange rate has been too good to refuse.
I've been picking then up so cheap lately that it's almost embarrassing. For example the pure white Aster cost me less than £50...
You know what it's like mate, all the pieces you want the most appear at the same time.

That they do. Even with this 404 a bunch of other things popped up. But I stayed strong!

And the group of five you showed in this thread are testament to your inner strength. You should be very proud.

Great picture and write up as always, Henry! That case construction is interesting and based on the movement pictures, it looks like it was very effective. I continue to be impressed with the innovations Rado made in both materials and design. They seem to have pushed the envelope farther than almost any other brand.

Hence my objections when people at the old place referred to them as a fashion brand.
