"On the market" and "definitely has soul", are terms used by those with a glass-nine-tenths-full view of the world, Magnus!

Cheers,
pplater.

In short...
I doubt there is any watch on the market that has more personality of its creator imbued than Volker's watch. This one definitely has 'soul'! Cheers, Magnus

See how we are spoilt?
Its amazing that such phrases these days give us a chuckle... Cheers, Magnus P.S.: I was quite brave with writing 'in the market', right?
