whatever it was called. If I remember correctly Jackie Stewart had the same model and that was more
than good enough for me. The watch ranged from $510 to $525 (hey, my '64 Impala coupe' was gorgeous
and only $100!). I almost jumped at the $510 price. I think they are at least 10-15 times that price now.
That watch had some fine curves, and a sweet face. It has done better than the old G.F. I can say that
because I'm only 26 years old, have a full head of hair, and still have a body like Frank Zane... in my dreams.
