    Huh! that's gratitude. I spend half the morning finding your dream watch and then you go all Rolex on me.

    Still, here it is if you still want it:

    Turn back while you still can.

    First thing I do every morning is go thru a number of searches on eBay looking at vintage watches.
    Olma, Oris, Vostok, Casio, Smiths, Luch, Elgin, Fossil, Orient

    Not as dangerous, because like you can't buy them if you haven't got the cash!

    Affording something is a more complex thing than simply having that amount in your bank account, no?

    (Just as sometimes you can afford something when you *haven't* the purchase price in your account)
