Glashutte Original Senator Sixties, preowned. Gold hands and indexes, sure. A stunning legacy time piece nonetheless:

Thanks for all the options gentlemen. Much appreciated. Many options now... The search begins.

Off to the Tourneau megastore in NYC to touch and feel and make a decision.

Some of you guys have a strange idea of what id not a sports watch :)
Lawyers in court do not wear POs guys. Or Sos or even speedies for that matter.

A bracelet and not leather make it hard to pick a nice dress watch mind you. Especially since a Rolex Day Date is out of the running.

Ugh - tell me about it. Not my choice. My Brothers. If I were him, I would only consider leather strapped for his needs!

Maybe I can sway him.

This is harder than it first seems.

I think a visit to Tourneau is the perfect idea. Let us know what comes of it.

Agreed.

Purchase details and pictures/review to follow.

I am so caught up on how great the straps I picked up from you are that this is priority 2 right now. Priority 1 - enjoying the straps!

If the $6-7k gen were going to be mine, and not my brothers I'd be more interested!

Take your brother to an AD, and show him a Rolex Rolesium Yachtmaster ..... I'll bet he buys one on the spot!

Here are some real questions that lawyers asked to people on the stand from my Law class

Q: You say that the stairs went down to the basement?
A: Yes
Q: And these stairs, did they go up also?

Q:So you were gone until you returned?

Q: She had three children right?
A: Yes
Q: How many were boys?
A: None
Q: Were there girls?

Q: Do you have any children or anything of that kind?

Q: I show you exhibit 3 and ask you if you recognize that picture
A: That's me
Q: Were you present when that picture was taken?

Q: What happened then?
A: He told me "I have to kill you because you can identify me"
Q: Did he kill you?

Last but not least

Q: Do you know how far pregnant you are now?
A: I'll be 3 months on Nov 8
Q: Apparently then, the date of the conception was August 8?
A: Yes
Q: What were you doing at that time?
