Incoming: New watch

Higgins

Slightly off-topic but there is a life aside from AJB and Bond for me...
Hope that I am not getting banned

Everybody knows my impeccable taste in watches and I have been starving for this for almost 30 years now.
Incoming:



The wife is totally annoyed, I am very happy!

Kwisatz

Is this the Miami Vice watch that Dohn Johnson wore in the later seasons ?
Schaut extrem 90er aus...

minigeff

looks like frank butcher's

shilton125

how ugly, i think Del Trotter used to keep these and knock them out for £20

Sir Miles

Markus....really ?:)

That watch is f**king hideous X-(

At least you can measure how tacky the thing is with that tackymeter on the dial !

Higgins

Hehehe, seems that I have lost some serious reputation with this purchase

Kwisatz was partly right, but it's from the 80s That's Sonny Crockett's watch from Miami Vice.

MG: Still better looking than this ugly CW piece
You cretin youngsters critics have no idea about cool items from the 80s. Ebel was bigger than Omega at that time and it was the time of the

two-tone Datejusts:


Cartier Santos:


Ebel with wave bracelet:


There was no internet, the chicks did not wear bras and we where using our C64 computers to play "Summer Games"

Good days! ;%

And for those who'd like to learn a bit about the Ebel Chronograph's historical place, here is something to read:

welshboy78

Oh yeah - Commodore 64, those were the days!!!

Markus I think you should hunt down the Lion watch! )

Higgins

Thanks welshie. Glad that you understand why I have had to get that Ebel.

Hunting down the Lion watch is not really a challenge:

Since Markus is a little off topic with his new watch, I will throw mine in too - not a watch but a new addition to my casino plaques collection - a brand new Playboy London plaque from the new Playboy London Club

This plaque is live and can be redeemed for face value - No. 00004 - only 7 made it out before the casino opened.

ics

Well Markus - if youre happy then i am happy :007) ... personal i think it is gay.... -{

Higgins

Kan, great plaque {[]

In addition to the £100 gambling value, are there any Playboy-specific incentives like a free mag?

Ian, I have been called many things regarding that watch - never heard your complaint.
Pimp, drag and tacky ( thanks Sir Miles) you name them
