Hi All, recently I had the honor to have a 1x1 GTG with cbb !! She is a true PuristS In that sense that she is a down to earth and friendly person with a tremendous passion for her watches, especially Patek !
Her posts to honor her late father and his passion for watches typify the Patek slogan of Patek watches get passed on to following generations. Furthermore, cbb knew that I am an enamel “lover and slave” and kindly brought her 5231J for me to inspect and ...
I have never had the honor of a get together.
But she always comes off as a down to earth enthusiast. She honors her dad and their shared passion. Her posts are always a pleasure. I’m also jealous of all the travel she gets to do. 😜
I don't think there was ever any doubt about her passion for watches...
in fact, I think it is the opposite. I also caught the bug from my father who is a collector and happily still with us although father time is creeping up on him I do not post much due to personal reasons but I can honestly say that some of the most enjoy...

what we want ! For you, please post more about your stories. We would love to hear them !

yes Fab, cbb chose that strap which is a...
great choice to match the enamel dial and put a feminine touch to it ! She knows her straps !
They hard enough to read without making it smaller...
I thought the J was better than expected but really does nothing for me....still a 5131 lover and white gold metals for me...that's just personal preferences. The 5131 sister wrist much better than 5575 and 5231 for reason
Hi Karl, you are correct in that 5131 and 5231 are not easy to read, especially given that there are 24 cities ! My ...
aging eyes are also not helping !! LOL ! Then again, these watches IMO are really about the artistry of the enamel dial and I tend to use my smart phone to give me the accurate time of another city.
