Confused. Intrigued. Excited.
When I first saw that our fearless leader and moderator had put up his beloved ruthenium collection for sale in the CM, I thought it couldn't be. I was perplexed, bewildered and confused. Then I read that the effort was to fund the purchase of a G&P Sonnerie. I was intrigued by this idea and after thinking about it for some time, I became very excited. I can only imagine how difficult of a decision it was for Brad to part with his truly beloved Ruthenium Collection, however, the idea of someone in our forum owning the G&P Sonnerie (to my knowledge I don't believe anyone in the forum owns one) and be willing to share with all members its beauty and sublimity is maybe the only slice of Journe that this forum is missing!
Best of luck with the sale Brad.
