Greg,

Great link. Every watch on that page is special.  Would love to have  
them all but the only one I currently have ia an Omega Speedmaster Pro  
"Moon Watch" lovingly given to me by my wife for our 30th  
anniversary.  Prized even more than my Leica for obvious reasons. The  
IWC Mark XI has the cleanest, easiest to read dial IMHO -- would be  
nice complement to Speedy -- 35th anniversary maybe?
