Thank you Sir. Enjoyed every post you made.It's been fun, and I now know where to go should I ever need advice on a cycle. I may still be young enough to be the next "Eric Von Zipper". Of course if you don't remember him I guess I am too old.
I'll repeat myself, if anyone needs advice on buying a high end watch, especially a used one, feel free to post it (or the auction) on that particular brands forum for evaluation. There are alot of fakes out there. Many excellent ones are coming out of China, they are scarey. We've saved many people lots of $$$$$.
As to your hobby, you are doing the right thing with your choice of wrist wear. I wish you all well, but should you take a slide better it be with a Casio or Citizen. Save the higher end watches for other times.
