Waooo! Samwan some superb pieces you have here....
Ludovic Ballouard, fancy, intriguing quite mesmerizing, really nice. The Moser, well have been in love with this PC for a while. Aaaahhhh! Laurent Ferrier and the micro-rotor, sublime! The Romain Gauthier is very interesting, the workmanship reminds me of...

Thx Mark abd everbody again for the nice words....
Like I said in my other post, I learned a lot from my friends in this forum :)
What we must not ignore, Sam...

Very well said pplater, though I find
your compliments rather flattering :) Thank you for the kind words and encouragement. To a large extent, it is people like you and other friends on the forum that provide stimulation for the personal quest for the pinnacle of horology. Best Sam
