Did you ever find a watch that you just couldn't get off your mind (other than a Rolex)?
I discovered this Ebel at my AD and it just reached out and grabbed me. I can't explain why other than it's different. The dial is very clean looking and it has a deployment clasp, which is also appealing. It's a 45mm which I consider too big for my wrist but I'm tempted to make an exception. It seems like most of the watches are getting bigger so I guess I'd fit in. The AD even offered a 20% discount which makes it more inviting. I can imagine someone asking the time and I would just hold out my wrist.
I'd probably be wearing it today if not for an estimate from our electrician for some pending work this month. Hmmm, I wonder if I can convince the wife to postpone the electrical work...NOT.

It looks both nice and different John, good luck with the purchase.
Now about the electrical work, I could give you a good price but you would have to add airfares and accommodation.  _________________ I'd feel lost without my GPS |

As for electrical work....just buy her a couple of new extension cords.....You got to have your priorities right...

I would guess your price, including the airfare and accommodations, to be pretty close to his estimate!
Come to think of it, I just might go over to the rant column!  _________________ Regards,

I like your thinking Larry. However, after living with her all these years my imagination just runs wild with what she might do with those extension cords.  _________________ Regards,
