Write your reply.

assistant: Stan, For some time I have been looking for a replica of a Rolex Daytona,
two tone if possible, with all the dials working.  If you can't get the two
tone, the frosted silver is ok, but the chronometers must work.  I have a
local source, but he's asking a lot more than I believe it's worth.
Also, on the Monte Blanc pens, is the white star on the caps or not, if not
I can get the ones that look like it w/no star for $3 each here.  If it has
the white "Starburst" on the top, I might be interested in a pen & (not
listed) a pencil.  Plese reply via email to me at j_mccully@juno.com
