MichaelC shares a compelling 'almost' acquisition story, detailing his near-purchase of a rare Audemars Piguet La Boutique Paris Royal Oak Chronograph. His experience highlights the often-fraught journey of acquiring highly sought-after vintage references and the critical importance of seller trust. This post serves as a valuable reminder that sometimes the best deals are the ones that don't happen, especially when instincts signal caution.

I could not get full comfort about the seller from Italy.  We go to the point of meeting face to face in NY, and then the seller went quiet.

Hard to know how close I was, but sometimes the best deals don't happen.

Words for all of us to heed.

Mostly a very enjoyable passion, but we must always be careful.

Sandblasted titanium.

Yes, I should have reached you for this search! Perhaps another titanium Royal Oak will come along...
