Funkyguy surely you can't be trying to claim victory with a girls watch :eek: :lol:

I don't know...there's [apparently]a boatload of P1's to be had if you have the money, sort of like Pamela Anderson,"who hasn't had her?". I like something a little off the beaten path myself. :lol:

Bruce's collection is great from a purist's standpoint, but you guys have some very rare, albiet unsung, pieces.

Don't make me go down to the safe, sonny!! :x

Funkyguy I'm starting to see a trend in your threads with your references to girlie watches, camp hats and lady boys ~:(

BTW - That is spoken as a man who's off to the Take That concert on Sunday :oops: but I'm only going as company for the wife.... Honest!

london_funk:
The Arnex is hard to appreciate in a photo, as the finish is like a baked on iridescent enamel. Changes color and texture as you move it. And it is a fairly good sized watch - slightly bigger footprint than the case of a P2. I haven't gone digging in the safe yet, as II've been terribly busy. If a few others would join in it would certainly up the ante on this game. :lol:

I think this one was quite rare, already regret selling it, but that damn module died down.

yer...come on users.. where the hells the rarities..perhaps theres none to be had ?
or the collections out there only contain all the usaul suspects?

its a shame others dont contribute as this is where the possible gaining of knowledge and info can further LED watch collecting.
