The only time I've indulged in such rashness with a credit card. The watch hit the tile floor about 2011 seriously jarring and damaging the chrongraph function which wouldn't stop until 2018, & adding to the workload of the movement when I finally got the worn mainspring replaced. One does not unlock the crown to adjust between 10 PM & 02:00AM when all is in motion to advance the date hand, month and day wheels, and incremental moonphase functions. On a watchwinder, it is set on right turn ; 1000 turns to stay wound when not worn. In upscale shops on the planet (incl Harrod's) several have looked at it on my wrist...and exclaimed "That's a real watch!" It helps because when the sales jerks know you're a knowledgeable fanatic, the markup price suddenly begins to drop.... Good God I just remembered I gotta "spring forward" an hour on all my watches, even my 3 'perpetual calender' solar powered Citizens' will need to be adjusted.
