You do realize that Big Ben is only the main strike bell, not the entire tower.

How about the London Bridge and the clock on the light pole on the bridge?

Are you sure that you don't mean Tower Bridge?

Surely, there is a clock on the bridge that tells correct time.

Now you’re hairsplitting.

I certainly mean the bell as well as the clock tower. Throw in the entire Palace of Westminster and we have a deal.

Whilst you are at, Prince Charles should be included in the deal.

I agree, but I don’t need to spend money on a self-entitled royal figure head. His wax figure at Madam Tussauds will do just fine.

He has way too much hair. Looks like Madam Tussauds borrowed hair from Camilla for Charles head of hair.

I always wanted to get one of these. I don’t think they’ll be repping them anytime soon

Sorry, he was sold to the Saudis last February. We needed the cash in preparation for Brexit.

Don’t feel too bad. They bought our president too.... for peanuts.

In his defense, the wax was made when he still had a full head of hair.... and doublebreasted suits were in vogue.

That was the model I liked when I first was made aware of Urwerk.

Urwerk appears to be a very unique and different watch company based on the models on their web site.

That made me laugh. After a day of desperate phone banking I needed that. Thx!

This isn't offered like this, but modded easily enough with a WG bezel. Absolutely LOVE the dial - Ice blue all the way, with ICE!

White gold and platinum differ slightly in color and shade. White gold is warmer, as it's an alloy which is composed in three quarters out of pure, yellow gold and then coated with rhodium or palladium. With time, the coating fades and the color difference becomes more substantial.
Platinum is pretty cold and unsaturated, more like stainless steel. So i guess an SS bezel would be more accurate.

The font on the SS bezels is entirely different, and much less attractive. But hey, with a billion bucks I guess I can get someone to make me a platinum bezel with the precious metal fonts!
