Over a couple of glasses of Soda .

. . . for that.

You can have the Soda !

Your a lucky man, that’s a great Omega !

... As Nicolas said, I´m very fortunate... to have good friends like Art and Nico. My work in getting your Seamaster was nothing in comparison with all the troubles you had to go through and time you had to invest to get this one. And not only you finaly ... 

. . . it's one of 'em. ;-)

Bravo Art and congrats to Abel! That is friendship!

. . . a Speidel.

What better than personal delivery while making a vacation out of it! Congratulations to Abel for such a wonderful pickup , and to you for passing along the good fortune of the find. Funny, but every time I see a Flightmaster, I immediately think of you. ...

I too have been dealing with high uric acid for a few years now... my nutritionist definitely banned me from any alcohol, particularly beer, as it is the one which triggers it the most. I still drink though, and I have found Portuguese vino verde, sake, a... 

. . . a single screwdriver with Tito's vodka, one of the purest distillations around, on a Sunday night. Monday, gout returned with a vengeance. ;-( So ever since June 24th, I haven't had more than a few drops of any libation, and other than a manageable ... 

Myself included ;-) Fuerte abrazo, Alex

Love this part2 of the friendship watches tale 👍 In my mind, a friendship watch is the hardest to find! Best regards and wear these flightmaster in fantastic health !

Bravo to you both, Sirs!

incredible catch....congrats to both of you !

. . . as well as a Bullhead, not to mention various Speed and Seamasters. I'll let you know when the legal issues are sorted out and the broker can start offering pieces again. Warmest, Art

Was happy to see Art get this one. 😀

. . . I never would've known about this Flightmaster if you hadn't told me about it ;-) . . .
