Nah, I wouldn't, I sold it. I'm happy enough with what I have now, a burnt orange faced Heuer, not a Tag Heuer, a (Heuer) Heuer. But on topic with the Leica portion of this conversation of ours, I love the german Braun watches, sadly not imported here. A beautifully understated elegance, very reasonable price and great when they're working reliably, - you can guess mine isn't can't you!!
