Thanks for the updated link to Mühle-Glashütte (MG) web site. I had an
older link and it was forwarding to a weird place. MG has certainly
improved their watch line since I last looked at it a couple years
ago.

Unfortunately, there is no U.S. dealer, so I have to order MG online
from a European distributor. Any recommendations for the best place
to order MG in Europe or elsewhere, particularly lowest price in U.S.
dollars? (And can European VAT be avoided?) I find the Unotime, the
Sports M12, the City XIII, and the Junior to all be of interest (white
and blue dials.)

Laugh. Sorry.

There is a well-known independent movie with the U.S. title "Sex, Lies
and Videotape", and I simply replaced the "Videotape" with "Automatic
Watch".
