Huge congratulations my friend. That is just lovely. I fully understand you falling in love. At first when I saw your post I was dreading something bad had happened. Phew 😮💨 It doesn’t happen often anymore that we see something in a window and then get to take it home immediately. I miss the good old times. Have fun with it. PS: Too bad you can’t post a Journe wrist shot for FP Friday but I think the story qualifies it for a picture for FP Friday anyway 😂🫶
The picture didn't show up on the front page so I said to myself, "how beautiful could it be?" Well, it's gorgeous, thank you for sharing!
Love the fluted bezel. Where have I seen that before? 😁
Sham1: No dear, I most certainly did not buy another watch.
If they played the game, they could have been bigger than Cartier S
Not a huge fan of the Rolex tribute aspects but that is a handsome clock!
