Thanks Scott.

... like an exotic sports car can sometimes do, it took the air out of my body. Thanks to Mitch for his amazing hospitality. Here's a few more shots! Daniels Front Daniels Back Can't wait to pick up my Omega 15k Gauss w/Co-Axial Escapement in February, 20...  

Great shots. The dial is simply, as you say, breathtaking. The hands are so strong, solumn, unwaiving, and ultimately very British. Dean

Great to see this fantastic piece has found such an excellent home -- I'll hope to see it at some point in the future :-) Wear with pleasure and in good health! Best, Gary G

able to do a nice photo essay on the watch. I bow to your photographic skills. Mitch

Nothing would make me happier than to do a photo essay on this wonderful piece -- and there are a few others in your collection (I'm thinking specifically of a particular prototype...) that would be an enormous treat to get under the lens. I get the exper...

stay. Mitch

Definitely a piece of history you have there, and a stunninging crafted work of horological art. Many congratulations. One of the best watches to have graced this forum. Dean

And one that I have no doubt will be cherished for many generations to come.

If the smile fatigue gets to be too much for you, you can tell me and I will accept to borrow the watch for a while and smile in your place. That watch is a real treasure. Don

No chance that the fatigue will be overwhelming. Mitch

Thank you for sharing. It is an amazing watch and I hope you enjoy it! OpC

congratulations to this beautiful masterpiece of horology!

I've seen in the wild. I can only imagine how magnificent it must be in person. Look forward to seeing more scans of that one as you get to know it. Darren

Huge congrats Mitch! I had the chance to see it at Salon QP and it is really stunning. I'm very happy for you. Fx

Wear it with pride!

Congrats on such a beautiful piece. Regards, ED-209

and thanks for sharing it with us. how long did you have to wait for it? best, Horo

I contracted for the watch when it was first released in 2010, so it would be about 3 years. That must be why I am still smiling - the result of 3 years of pent up desire :) . To say that it was well worth the wait is an understatement. Mitch

Yes, indeed. Hope it will get lots of time on your wrist and will make you smile for a very long time. Congrats! Oliver

This is a post I keep wanting to come back to. You have me in search mode. Might have to make the trip to the Isle of Man! Once again, congrats ! Dean

person to spend time with. Then there are the gentlemen in his shop that are fun to talk with. And then there are his watches!!!! True treasures. Mitch
