Undinist 20 Posted March 28, 2020 They're always available used from Motorworks, with a caveat about brittleness https://www.motorworks.co.uk/vlive/Shop/Parts.php?T=5&NU=10&M=40&Ct=PA&SbCt=BA_10_40_PA_30 I was thinking it might be possible to reinforce them by glueing a thin layer of something or other inside.

FunnyStarSystem 7,537 Posted March 29, 2020 Switzerland is a lovely little country with some of the most spectacular infrastructure I've ever seen, so please spend as much as it takes for them to keep it up! Remember, each Franc you spend means a Swiss cow gets to live its life unmolested by all that traffic redirected to a deep tunnel. Buy the gen, do it for the noble Swiss Cow. Lovely bikes as well, gentlemen, excellent taste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Undinist 20 Posted March 29, 2020 Swiss cows are adorable, but the watch on my shopping list is a used one at a dealer in Chemnitz, which is pretty much the epicentre of neo-Nazism in Germany. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, they do have this wicked huge bust of Marx, so I guess do it for Karl then. I'm sure pressure washing all those swastikas off of him isn't cheap.

tonyh7 223 Posted March 29, 2020 The watch looks great on leather. £9k isn’t a lot on a gen watch, which - I assume - will hold its value. My only reservation would be walking around with quite that much value on my wrist. But my view is, if you can afford it, and you really want it, go for it. We pass this way but once. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
porschespeedster 19 Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) 1 year later I still say buy the gen. Not like you will lose money on it; its a classic watch from a top tier manufacturer. also: congrats on the bike! ride in good health.
