well done Blomman
and well deserved after such a quest! Too bad I missed you in Paris, but I was stuck with the snow and having a busy week this week and many travel hassels in the last month it wasn't reasonable. I am actually 3 hours delayed at Venice airport right now!!! Would have loved to meet you in person!...next time!...Matt
Things we do for love: Part #1
The things we do for love?! When a man (or a woman) is in love we do a lot stupid and irrational thing. Some times it pays, some time it’s not… But, we do them anyway! We do them because of this unexplainable feeling we have in our chest and we try to ful...
Fortunate enough
I was fortunate enough to actually hold the watch in my "hands" and man is she sweet. Looks even better with the new bezel. It was watch bezel changing time last weekend. Best regards, George
I am thrilled for you, Blomman
You are very close to realizing your fully assembled grail. You have all the parts. I am really happy for you, my friend. This is a great story with what promises to be a happy ending. By the way, that watch looks AWESOME! Best, respo
Lucky her to enter into your house.
Good job Blomman, the memories of such adventure will only put a big smile on your face and of course every sweat will be worth it. Thanks for sharing your bundle of joy with us. Cheers Edward
Huge congrats Blomman!
I am so happy that you have found her. That's an amazing story, glad that you have finally reached home safely, after an eventful 3,000 km journey! I am sure that your watchmaker will pamper her too and I wish you a nice reunion with her soon. Best, Goh
What wonderful love story
Hi Blomman, I love the way you are telling your stories. And it is a heartwarming story about passion, vintage watches, watch lovers and friends. And you bring us good evidence that in love stories it often pays to let passion rule over reason. These Memo...
Merry X-mas, Martin!
Thank you, for your kind words! Hope to read a similar story about your Memovox soon! Best Blomman PS. Still on the lookout…
What a story, my friend.
Indeed, what would we do for some watches... But you already know that the DSA is one of these rare birds which deserve some efforts, and what you did for it is just impressive. You know my love for the American and European version, even if all was not p...
A bomb indeed!
I would walk through fire and (deep) water (and snow obviously) for this one! Elegance in a rough way – the best kind of elegance ?! Thank you, and again thank you for all your help – this had not been possible without your help! Hope to post step #2 soon...
I did nothing, you found it alone, my friend.
And you amazed me a lot, on this one. You have an unbelievable ability to find those rare birds. When I get mine back, we'll try to make a photo session. What do you do for the new year's day? Aaah, you won't believe me, but I found a " Reverso " original...
Are you trying to …
Lure me back to Paris already…?! A DSA side by side photo shoot? That would be awesome, count me in! Oh, a first generation Reverso… Well, you know how full my watch year has been, no room for more this year… :-( Hope to see you soon! Best Blomman
