The pleasure is in the wait! ;)

Another strap monster in the making

Makes the waiting just bit tougher 😉🤣. Missed you in Paris this time mon ami 🤷‍♂️

Beautiful piece… I am gutted I have given this a miss, as things are brewing for me elsewhere within the sphere of independent watches. Looking forward to a lengthy review and wrist shots from you, Mike and Bill. Best Regards Gatsby

Thanks for your very kind words, mon ami.
