A sorpresive encounter and catch!: Tribute to DSA US version...
Hello friends! Just to share the joy of a new catch this week.
I have been looking for this watch for long, with no luck. As a matter of fact I had felt there was no way of getting one here in my Country after several tries with my usual contacts.
A few days ago I received a mail from dear friend and watch lover, informing that a local AD was offering him a watch he was not interested in, but he knew I would like. My heart pumped very hard when I viewed the picture he enclosed in his mail! What a BIG surprise!!
I quickly phoned my friend and after a little talk he arranged a visit to the shop for following day.
My friend accompanied me to the shop and introduced me to the seller and in a no time the watch was mine.
The watch was completely brand new and had been residing in the stock of the shop for a long time without finding a home. I was very happy to offer it the home it was waiting for!
I felt like touching the sky, and the company of my good friend sharing the passion for watches and understanding my feelings for this fortunate and unexpected find added to the enjoyment of this capture.
I had no time yet to take some decent pictures this beautiful watch deserves, but wanting to share it with my friends here at PuristS I took a few fast shots with my phone.
Have a nice week end friends! Very cordially, Abel.
