Wifey's Bday Gift. Input Please.
Ok. So my wife is turning 40 in a couple of months and I've decided to get her a watch as her gift. I've gotten it down to 2 models. Got some input from her in passing as we window shopped. I'm trying to decide between an AP ROO SS white or a Blancpain Leman model in white. Both have diamonds on the bezel. The AP comes on a rubber strap and the Blancpain comes on either stain or alligator strap. The AP is much more sporty while the Blancpain is a bit more dressy, but sporty enough I think to wear casually. She already has dressy pieces from JLC and Cartier. Here is my dilemma. The Blancpain is an automatic movement and the AP is a Quartz. Is it worth paying this much money for a quartz movement? She likes the idea of a quartz because she doesn't have to adjust the time before wearing it. I just have a hard time getting my head around it. I just wish AP would make this model in an automatic without the chrono. What do you guys think?

This sums it up
I have mentioned (at nausea) a few times before that I sometimes hanker for the past. This bicycle from English maker Pashley sums this up quite nicely. It is a 1930's racer but made with modern materials and equipment. This is ME! (The price, however, is far from that era ). With wooden mudgards and a 3-speed hub it looks the part

Unique opportunity expedited my grail!
Got a call from my AD last Saturday telling me they have something for me.Long and short of it, my grail had walked in their door, a pre owned version! They know I'm a savvy buyer and would never have bought this new unless a decent discount. Watch is literally 2 months old, was sold by my AD and bought back from the AD. I wasn't going to buy this until I hit a certain financial goal but what the heck!!! Now I need a new reward lol.BeholdSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
