Honestly, I'm "perpetually" on a list for a Patek rare handcraft, they even apply without asking me..BUT, it has to be allocated to Italy first! No hope for 2019, fingers crossed for 2020;-) [nt]
I just realized that I'm waiting for four 😱 It sounds a bit crazy for me, but unfortunately, some of them might never arrive (you know what's going on with the market nowadays), but what if I receive the calls? I'd better be ready to pull the trigger 😄 Wh...
I am actually about to add a sixth to the list (the Gronefeld Remontoire) but the plus point is that I have managed to space them all out so that I do not have to sell any body parts 1. Cartier Crash - December 2019 2. Patek 5212A - end of this year or ea...
You have a serious plan ahead to execute, I wish you the best luck! It's hard to assimilate that your AD or Patek has promised you the 3878 in 9 years time... 😱 Enjoy the journey, but I'm sure that you will add other pieces as you progress through your li...
The 3878J was discontinued more than 20 years ago but a VIP customer had commissioned one two years ago which Patek had agreed to make. This order was cancelled after production of the watch and it found its way to the Patek Salon in London where I first ...
For the more special/rare handcraft pieces, I also enjoy the process of looking for them, waiting for the right moment, etc., and then (sometimes) being lucky enough to get selected... If not, I'll survive. I find this an important part of the fun in watc...
But for regular watches, it's not fun at all. But it's maybe me because I'm not looking for any kind of exclusivity but beauty and quality. Anyways, I'll start looking at this rare handcrafts, I'm starting to me intrigued 😉
That's a good consolidation effort, I have to learn from you. I don't want to get so far, but at a certain point I might start consolidating. I don't really know, time will tell 😜 Thanks!
I have to confess I never have begged for a watch. If a watch I want to buy can’t be delivered within a reasonable time and at a reasonable price I decline with thanks and turn my love to other brands and watches. There are so many of them. ☺️ Best, Thoma...
Let’s see ...about 8 pcs and realistically I think I’ll get 5 by the end of the year . Rolexes have been carried forward from last year’s orders and yes Patek as well .
That’s only one I have ‘on order’, and to be frank I should probably call them up and take my name off the list. Have really fallen out of love with Rolex in recent years. In terms of broader watch buying plans, I hope to buy a Big Pilot 5004 this year. I...
I’ve got one new watch order, or better put it’s “under construction” at the manufacture Planning is to go to Geneva mid September to collect it and once I have it I will share (many) pictures Only one in this community knows what it is and he has sworn s...
