You guys are a great bunch! No, didn't win the lottery, wish I did. As far as buying the reps, two reasons. 1. I was looking at a gen basic ROO black rubberclad, but opted to purchase a rep so that I'd hopefully get over my AP fix, without having to spend 15k
2. Then after looking at the reps, I realized that they were far more easy to attain ($500 vs. $15-20k for 1 watch) that it was so difficult to just choose one.
I have my heart set on a gen Roger Dubuis Excalibur Model: EX45 78 90 00/09R01/B, which I hope to acquire in the next few months. It's an older model now, so hard to find one, especially given the limited number.
Also love the Perrelet Split Second Semi-Skeletonized Chronograph, which you can see in this video [ame="http://vimeo.com/10961515"]
