Magic of Paris is that always something magical

happens there...

How you like my Forest Gump definition of Paris?

Anyhow

When things start to roll in Paris they roll big

even bonbons have horological context

then it started raining..... the most beautiful Submariner I ever saw

some A league watches

then one start to see double

even brad is double

then you start to see stars

and grown men having peep show on street in broad daylight

then striptease start to happen

still not convinced in Parisian magic?

no?

nothing yet?

are you sure?

this one gave me palpitations

but greatest moment of magic for me was when I was surprised with present

from dear fellow Purist I had privilege to meet couple of years ago...

they not call him for nothing Flying Belgian

he had it on wrist before I managed to blink

Finally in my hands

All I will say is thank you my friend didn't see that one coming by far

truly moved and grateful

Cordially
