INCOMING for April fools day, what did you decide to wear?
And happily this is not an April fool's joke 😉😜. So it is a long story but I will try to be brief. It all started back in September of 2000. I wanted something cool for my incoming birthday and decided to purchase a 3710/1A which was my first dip into the...
Thanks Justin for sharing this personal journey !
Very touching story and glad that your wife was able to provide wise comments to you. This “naughty” comet is indeed special and is well received by your cat 🐈⬛ as it seems relaxed around this watch. BTW, the dial color matches the cat’s fur 👍 ...
Thank you for charing a deeply personal story.
A fantastic PP you have there! I chose one I often wear at the office: the UJ. ...
Congrats Justin on (re-)acquiring a terrific Patek -- and thanks for sharing this beautiful, personal story, which I read with lots of interest! ;-)
To add a lighter note, I like the words your wife used to reassure you, by reminding you that "nothing is forever"! ;-)) I sincerely hope you can enjoy a long and beautiful journey with this special Nautilus on your wrist! Cheers.
Sounds like a great lady Justin...
I was already married and living on Lexington and 27th and my wife had just started a new job working in Brooklyn on the waterfront. From her office she could see bodies falling from the buildings...one of them turned out to be one of our best friends tha...
Very touching Justin - thanks for sharing
Reminds me also of a stressful day back on this 9/11 incident as my Dad had a meeting at 9am that day at the World Trade Center towers. The meeting got canceled as he got to the building in the limo so he was on his way back to the airport when everything...
Sir, I salute you!
And your wife because of the story is touching heartwarming and inspirational
Thanks for a great, inspirational read, Justin!
And congrats for scoring a great watch with " a personal past provenance". One doesn't see those around anymore. Enjoy!
You did well my friend to pull the trigger
Your wife is wise and smart, a very good adviser! You will enjoy it my friend, wear it in the best of your health
Thanks 🙏 for sharing your story champ 🏆 that is the first Patek I ever bought...
today I’m wearing my LV which is forever attached to a significant personal loss, that of my father. I was wearing it at the moment of his passing and for years could not bring myself to wear it again. It’s still very emotional for me to wear but it is no...
What a story!
And a fitting reminder of a watch! Thank you for sharing your spouse's thoughtful words.
Fascinating story!
Thank you for sharing the road you traveled and how you ended up with this beauty. You deserve it! So does Jesse J! Congrats! -Tim
Great choice!
I bought the 3710 at around the same time. I saw something in it that I liked. Suffice it to say, we were in the minority in the early 2000s as I got a substantial discount on it back then. Been wearing it ever since, and history has judged our original d...
I never thought a watch can be connected this way but time will heal almost everything...
Or at least dilute the effects of an event...This Nautilus came at the right time, another awesome incoming. Congratulations Justin,
Yes Raymond. Sometimes we relate to these pieces for the history or events they represent to us when worn. This was a very sad moment for me so I could not get past it back hen hence I had to move on...
You are right that time does heal or ease the pain. Hopefully I will be able to enjoy this wonderful piece more the 2nd time around. We will see 🤷♂️
Very touching, my dear Justin.
I think you made a great decision. Hope to see it one day.
