Stunning piece . I was very worried about this piece with initial reports but after trying it on I fell in love 😍 and couldn’t say no. I know it’s not a favorite amongst most on this forum. I took delivery last week.
Being rich or being an investor?
Hello everyone, I own the 5976, the most expensive watch I’ve ever bought and I can afford any watch I want.. I hate the comment “so nice to be rich” a judgement no one should make about another person, it’s all relative as 5980 commented. IMHO, the compa...

Good memory my friend. I was nearly run off before I started here.
"The rich - clearly inherited, undeserved wealth - flipping - certainly never owned a watch for than a week - ostentatious - obviously extraordinarily vulgar and arrogant - asshole - no further description required." And I was concerned I wouldn't make a ...

Sorry you didnt get the typical (and required!) Cordial response and welcome you should have. Glad you are still here...
