    I’m really not sure Alex, it’s a bit of a movable feast. A bit like hifi gear I’ll keep a watch for a while then move it on, I’ve usually got a couple listed on eBay at any one time. There is a core of favourite watches I’ll never sell which includes my more exotic timepieces.

    Long ago, my then wife and I were shopping in this gallery in Manteo NC, and I saw a wrist watch on the floor, so I picked it up. I asked the clerk on the way out if anyone reported loosing a watch, and no one had. After we got back to the car I looked at it, and it was a woman’s Rolex! I took it to a Rolex dealer and had it cleaned and serviced, and I imagine she’s still wearing it now. My family was stunned, “You gave your wife a Rolex?”. It looked exactly like the Men’s Rolex you posted earlier, but smaller.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    It's quite an elegant watch Grant, photos don't really do the blue dial justice.
