Oh my dear! I can’t get this out of my head anymore…
Nico completely infected me with his last post about this new model to celebrate the 230th birthday of Girard-Perregaux. Now I can't get this watch out of my head ... I MUST have a look at a Three Bridges Neo Tourbillon to see it in the flesh. My only hop...
Discovered
I have a very expensive taste. Later on more, back to your grail watch. What can i say more? The 3 bridges is an outstanding watch. Not a grail personally for me, but if i had the money, i bought a peace. What you have with the 3 bridges, i have it with i...
Obviously I have a very expensive taste, too…
Dear Weems@8! I was hoping you would NOT wish me any success but help me to withstand… 🙄
I think you are in trouble, Thomas.
I'm guessing the watch is not only going to be spectacular in person, but when wearing it, you will forget the hairy wrist and only see the watch! So it is double good. Let us know when it arrives ;-)
Yes, Michael, I am in very big trouble…
And it seems nobody can (or want to?) help me out of this. 😬 Do you prefer the first or second piece? Cheers Thomas
Maybe these two guys can help me out of this thing?

This is a very expensive hobby. It is the reality of it. To see is one thing, to own is quite another thing. In the middle is talking about watches.=D
Have u seen the Aston Martin edition
It is quite stealthy, and the logo of AM is hidden in the edge of some wheel I remembered. I watched the video a few times.
I just saw it on pictures. Like all the other iterations.
My preference - next to the transparent 230th Anniversary edition - would be this variant (also a Neo Tourbillon): Regarding the Aston Martin edition I have to confess, I am very skeptical when it comes to joint ventures between watch companies and car br...
They’re all so beautiful
I remembered seeing the 3 Golden Bridges a decade ago. That is etched in my memory forever.
I can fully empathize with you!
I feel the same way. Although I haven't seen these marvels live yet...
Search a way to deal
Important you find a path. My way is to be realistic. A complication i want is a tourbillon. What can i do? Buy the first cheap tourbillon made in china. I do this, the UN torpilluer tourbillon is not an unreachable watch. I like the looks, i like the bra...
The most expensive way of collecting is
to buy as a compromise other watches instead of the watches you really want just to sell them again at a loss.
I don’t think so!
I have to admit my hope was that at least ONE NICE HELPFUL member would say: “Don't do it!” or “Wait a minute, there are so many other beautiful less expensive watches out there!” or “This watch is beautiful but completely impractical and far too delicate...
Oh, a random guy without a watch collection (!), I was so sad for him that I even threw in an extra kidney for free....;-))
PS: Seriously, I hope you'll make the right call on this watch, my friend, whichever it is -- it is a gorgeous piece, but it's entirely reasonable that many other elements also be part of a decision process. And of course, I do hope to see your wristshots...
Ha! Perhaps I have a small chance that
this watch is too big for my wrist! 😃 But I am afraid, it will fit perfectly… 😖
I can’t get it out of my head too
But reality has set in for me. I cannot afford this piece. It costs north of 100k. Yikes…but very worth it, in this level of complications, and beauty.
Perhaps we can buy it together and perhaps
Nico joins out members club, too? Then we just have to discuss who gets it the first 4 months. ;-)
Yes, definitely unbeatable…
Which of the shown specimen would you prefer personally? The first or the second one?
Extremely sophisticated and very special…
But I am afraid this time I won’t follow you and stay with … my … (oh my god, I wrote it) 230th anniversary edition. 😊 ...
My hairy wrist is one of my last glimmers of hope.
Maybe I find the watch on my wrist awful. And the spook is over! Hahahahaha
The principle “Just look, don't touch!”,
which is a rule for a good husband towards other women, is unfortunately not something I can implement with this beauty. In any case, from now on I will rub my left wrist with hair restorer every day. Maybe I can still prevent an impending catastrophe ......
LOLLLL
But laughter gets stuck in my throat. Because my AD sent me a WhatsApp today. Everything is going fine. For him. My goodness...
Well said!
What u’ve said rings true. I can almost imagine your excitement. Imagine the box, the smell of the AD shop, the suspense of opening the box and holding a fully wrapped masterpiece….oh my! The 3 Golden Bridges is an iconic piece!
Ufff….
I must confess this reads a little like …. watch porn. LOLLLL With women this would be called „turning on“. 😉 🥂
Too serious for me…
My AD wrote me an WhatsApp message today: „Hoffentlich kann ich Ihnen eine gute Nachricht am Montag bringen!“ („Hopefully I can bring you some good news on Monday!“) One question. Why do you prefer the Aston Martin version? Because it is more stealthy? I ...
And what to you think of this Titan version?
I am not so sure about full black watches and also not about PVD coatings. And basically the Aston Martin version has a Titan case. 😊 ...
Yes, superb!
For me the titanium version is equivalent to the Anniversary model 2021 in red gold. Didn’t you know the titanium version? Is more attractive to you than the Aston Martin iteration?
Yes, I have to confess, this Aston Martin version is really beautiful, too.
But I found this on GP’s website: “The car company’s name is engraved on the vertical flank of the micro-rotor and is filled with white luminescent treatment which appears blue in restricted light.” And that is what I'm a little bit afraid of… 🙏 ...
Not yet.
As I wrote here my personal contact at my AD tries to get the titanium or red gold version for me. He sent me a short message yesterday: “Wir brauchen noch mehr Zeit bis wir die endgültige Antwort von der Schweiz zu bekommen.” That means” We need even mor...
You are right. :-/
Still waiting... and waiting ... and waiting... Apparently this watch is highly sought after. I just wonder from time to time, why brands make so much effort (which costs money), when they are not able to deliver. Are they surprised by the demand? Or do t...
Update.
My AD wrote me that I am invited to GP‘s watch manufacture in La-Chaux-de-Fonds in April of next year (2022). So the journey - in both senses of the word - is not over yet…
Ok. I won’t forget.
But it is just my iPhone camera. So… nothing special at all I will try my best. 😊
Yes. I will take a power supply charger with me since
I am also invited to Greubel & Forsey since yesterday which is situated in La-Chaux-de-Fonds, too. I will try to combine these two visits. For reasons of efficiency, maybe with an overnight stay in between. Best Thomas
I know.
I have been at GP’s manufacture about 15 years ago. I remember how impressed I was, when I learned that they produced every link of a steel bracelet manually out of a full steel block. It was incredible. I am curious whether they kept it that way. Best l ...
I still sincerely hope
this watch is not comfortable to wear or loses its appeal in flesh because it looks terrible on a hairy wrist.
