made a few stops at some jewelers. I got to see from one of only 2 dealers in Michigan a Citizen Campanola....particularly the Beautiful burgundy dial. All I can say is wow.......this is a completely hand built timepiece and it shows. Every aspect of the watch is top notch. The hand lacquered dial was incredible, case was flawless and even the moonphase looked like nothing I have seen on a watch.

The jeweler was kind enough to knock off 25% without batting an eye:D fortunately or unfortunatley I am in no position to spend $2k on a watch right now:(

I also got a glimpse of that Fortis Square that was on the sales corner. The buyer of that beauty, made a score for sure. It was much bigger than I thought and just beautiful.

All and all a fun day of fulfilling 2 passions....motorcycling and watch collecting.

Happy hunting:D

Thanks CJ, you might be right especially after seeing it. I have a couple of friends who are jewelers and carry the regular Citizen line but the rep says they cant or wont get them one:(

At 50% off plus 10%... his cost, I would be all over itThumbsUp02.gif

Wish me luck:D

Tony I hear ya buddy some times I wish I had a endless watch fund. Mine is OK but there are a few watches out there I would love to just walk into a ADD point to the watch and walk out with it on wrist. ;)

Brotha T I've been looking at the Campy's for a long time myself and now have just decided to save up for one. So no more watches until I get the Eco-Drive version for me. Btw that is a nice one. Have you seen Kurts collection he seem to have them all.hand6.gif
