Even tho it's not a watch I'm still excited/happy about it! I collect (or used to) Vintage lighters and had at one time a very extensive collection but have sold most and kept only the very best for my collection. I have new Ltd. edition Zippos as well but at one time collected Vintage Ronson and Scriptos. I didnt have a single Butane in my collection so this one is perfect and I can use it daily. The Varaflame as shown here is probably the most popular of all the Ronsons and a lot of Japanese companies copied it but Ronson sued them so they had to stop. The end of the lighter is reminiscent of a Cadillac tail light.

I like that, very nice. I used to have some really cool Art Deco lighters but sold them ages ago.
It'd be good to see some pics of your collection sometime.

Design perfection Rene, from the period which I still believe to be a highwater mark of industrial design aesthetics, enjoy it mate.
