Pistols at dawn sir! Firstly let us get straight that Ginault is 40mm and costs approximately two to three times the 42mm Steinhart. Secondly, Steinhart makes a 39mm which may be more to your liking as a man unable to handle a well endowed cyclops (actually, I think it uses the same cyclops, but I like that sentence so it stays). Thirdly the appeal of a Steiny cannot be known until held in the hand, the silky caseback caressed against an inner thigh whilst petting a white cat - only then will you understand the perfection. Fourthly, as @Redfire1066 so helpfully pointed out, Steinhart is willing to forego the offending cyclops altogether should you wish. Ginault, as lovely as it is, is a one trick pony, an homage's homage, likely made in China from rep parts (big controversy), while Steinhart is a well rounded horlogerie with many unique designs. So to the depths of hell go thee!

The Swiss are a very collectively chill people, but they also really like their supercars, the place is littered with them. There is really only one rule in Switzerland, don't be a jerk. Follow it and everything is fine. Now back to my very serious and crippling addiction... 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the fact that FSS is nearly FFS (I should have mentioned that in the post about the Mondaine). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol Three zero's not two, the aussie dollars not that bad I found it at a Black Friday sale. Not sure about this one but most of the Tag F1 reps are pretty spot on, I'd get it from the gate if I had the time again. Although I saw one on m2m a while back that sold at near on the price of gen, wtf Edited June 13, 2020 by GulfGT40 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure about this one but most of the Tag F1 reps are pretty spot on, I'd get it in the rep if I had the time again. No no, you misunderstood me. What I meant was, "$1000?! Bollocks to that (even if they're Aussie ones) - where do I get the $100 version?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
