[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]M., After a first short look at this page, I only can agree with you, it really seems interesting to me. Me as well , I am a former lurker and a Lugger caring about mechanical masterpieces, not only watches and not having English as my first language (it's my third), I am always looking for "the real thing". So I suppose anybody's "real thing" might be different. I do not want to become this forum as a philisophical one, but is there anybody of us Luggers wanting to talk about his "real thing", whatever...
