That's OK. I suggest you look into Tag Heuer. Great watch brand with long history. Steve McQueen watch is timeless.

Yes.

Heuer - Founded in 1860
1889 the collection of Heuer's chronographs were presented at the Paris world fair and won a silver medal
Official timekeeper in 1920, 1924 and 1928 Olympic.
1930 Heuer built the first dash board clock for cars.
1964 the Carrera, first functional design chronograph
The second edition of this watch was worn by Steve McQueen in the 1970 movie LeMans. It was the first watch to have a chronomatic movement. This watch was sought after by collectors and saw a significant increased level of desireability after McQueen's death. It has been remodeled many times since the 1970's, to this day.
1985 joined with TAG and became TAG-Heuer.

And your point is???

By the looks I would've thought it had a bigger case.

Ive got two Rolex's (hand me down's from my grandfather), a tag link series, two swiss army's and a Wittnauer I got as a high school graduation present. Ive been looking at the Navitimer World editions and the IWC Portuguese as well, just need business to pick back up before I make my next purchase.

I think you meant that you have a 5159 for your personal collection, and it's not for sale.

eBay special! It is pretty quiet. It is in my closet thought, so I don't really ever hear it.

Today I'm rocking my Solar Atomic G-shock. 25th anniversary edition. I don't wear it often, but it's one of my favorite watches up w/ my Omegas.

Here are pics of the last three I have picked up...

Rolex GMT Master II (bought in December)...


Panerai PAM 111. I picked this up in November. I also have the brown alligator and black alligator straps to go along with it...


Tag Monaco Steve McQueen (one of my absolute favorite watches, and perhaps my favorite in my collection)...


And I just picked up a Panerai 288 Radiomir Chrono from Gil on the forums here. Having a brown alligator strap custom made for it. Have the black and espresso straps already. I also have a Omega Seamaster Automatic (James Bond) in steel and blue, as well as a Planet Ocean (larger size) in black/black with black rubber band and white stitching.
