Jeff, you have an awesome collection. I like the TAG 2000 - my brother has one too. The second watch from the left is a TAG Specialist Pilot. It comes with an operating manual that's 3/4 of an inch thick. It's amazing the calculations that the watch can pereform.

Tell me what you think of my plan: when the day comes to buy an engagement ring (the surprise is gone these days because the brides-to-be typically pick their stone and setting beforehand), I'm gonna make a deal with my fiance. If I'm gonna spend upwards of 5-figures on a ring, the least she could do is reciprocate with a Submariner 60th Anniversary (green bezel). Why should the bride get all the good, expensive stuff?

I never thought of getting a pocket watch because to me, a watch is functional jewelry that should be worn like clothing - for all to see. Watches are the only "jewelry" I wear.
