Like junkies and an ultimate fix.</p> <p>The speedmaster was the cheapest OWN I could see, so I put it on my shortlist and bought the moonphase version, and it seems to be working. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/watch-for-upcoming-40year-old/page/2#post-2780519 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 10:29:58 +0000 joolsburger 2780519@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>It's an addiction I came very cose to getting a Seiko I don't need last night. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/watch-for-upcoming-40year-old/page/2#post-2780002 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 01:33:49 +0000 Mark_K 2780002@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>God damn it I knew I shouldn't have opened this thread......now I have a Christopher Ward C15 alligator watch heading my way to add to my ever increasing watch colection since my wife left me <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_lol.gif" title=":lol:" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/watch-for-upcoming-40year-old/page/2#post-2779562 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 22:15:35 +0000 GJP 2779562@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p><em>druidh - Member<br /> Are you even sure he'd like a watch?
