Hello Tony, You can't be serious that the dial in your image cost 3 M Euros. Surely not. While it looks like a rather attractive design, there doesn't seem to be anything remarkable about it. I could understand maybe ten or twenty thousand Euros (nice work if you can get it!), but not 3 M.
Is it platinum, or perhaps the new unnamed element number 112? Cheers, John John Pickard [email protected] In chilly wintery Sydney. Looking forward to 21 June, and a return to longer days. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony Moss" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 16, 2009 3:44 AM Subject: Re: French dam to be world´s biggest sundial > Andrew Pettit wrote: >> Fantastic! >> >> At 200,000 Euros is it also the world's most expensive sundial? >> >> Regards >> >> >> > Not by miles!
