Well said or "ranted" Jurgen. There are still deals out there, they are just much fewer and more far between. If I didn't have college for two great kids to worry about, my collection would look a bit different! I've said it before, I am very happy to own the watches that I do, knowing that many I would not be able to afford in today's market! With that, I always keep my eyes open for a possible great buy. Getting it makes it that much sweeter! Unfortunately....................I don't think this "Great White" will be one of them! ;) Best - Jeff
