A most unexpected surprise!!
Oct 10, 2019,02:46 AM
In typical Sham fashion, I tend to stalk a watch I like for many years (just to be 100% sure that the watch still appeals to me over time) before pulling the trigger and sometimes I am just too late like in the case of the Chronometre Contemporain! So when I missed out on the last Gronefeld Remontoire sold in Singapore, I almost gave up on my quest of owning a Remontoire consoling myself that if it is meant to be, it will be.
A few hours ago, I received an unexpected call from the Singapore AD to let me know that a client had cancelled his order and therefore his allocation was available. The sales lady apologised profusely that the only drawback was that as the Gronefelds were pretty busy, the watch would only be delivered in two years time. Now, for those who know me, I am one who loves waiting for watches, the longer the better (probably something to do with having to save up for the purchase!). So taking delivery of the watch in 2021 was ideal!
Tomorrow I shall be flying to Singapore to leave my deposit with the AD and simultaneously visit the Patek exhibition again. Of course, the sales lady has decided to confuse me by sending me a couple of dial options to go with my preferred stainless steel case. I had actually decided to go for the plain silver case but admittedly, these options are quite attractive.
Your thoughts would be most appreciated.

Nice!
Nicer!!
