...for the time you spent on this great presentation and the beautiful numerous pics you took of this awesome granny.
Utterly jaw dropping
It’s my hope the winning bidder is Breguet themselves, so this can become part of their extensive collection. I would love to see it myself one day, and selfishly this probably presents my best chance of having the opportunity. Whatever the final price is...
