Are you sure that's not for sale?  I'm going to dream about that watch tonight, I just know it.

Lisa - I've seen five (at least) of these things sell over the years.....my guess is YOU will have one before my next birthday. BTW - my recollection? they're all BF Goodrich. I've seen ONE with a red sweep seconds, all the rest were sub seconds.

Oh, and technically, yes, every watch I have is for sale,

technically.

Certainly looks to be of the military variety.

That's awesome... reminds me of the old Chevrolet radiator watch that Jay has... very very specific to a brand name.

Too cool!

admin,

'Promotional advertising' secton or similar ?

The snag would be the Company award merits Watches - Watches awarded to employees for Years of service may (and will) get in the mix.

The Chevy Radiator is off the chart...!
