Cookies got the call today
He was just munching on his cookies today, and sending a birthday wish to his friend, on this routine day, and the phone rang.
It showed Gregories (a Tudor retailer in Sydney). He immediately picked up the phone. Ooo, it was the manager who called. He remember manager. Nice man, who warm and kind.
“Your BB58 925 is here. Would you like to buy it?”
Cookies already has 2 blackbays, but one more won’t hurt. So he bought the 925 immediately. Cookies buys from ADs who are humble and good humans, not buy from hard selling wheeler dealers or mean AD who look down on people.
For now, he will wear the standard blue BB. After tomorrow, cookies will wear the 925.
Moral of the story: “be genuine and sincere to your AD.”
Cookies know some ADs can be very snobbish. He avoid AD with uppity treatment to customers. But sometime he call them to show them he not afraid to spend.

Indeed. Tudor is good enough for me
Just as happy purchasing Tudor than any other more costly purchase. Oddly, the feeling is the same. Maybe cuz I really love the blackbay range. Thanks for replying buddy. Hope the cookies cartoon toy made u smile.
Thanks Nico
I pray the AD calls u for the Deepsea JC. You truly deserve that piece. It is the piece which I sense u truly like. They must be ethical and sell it to the true collector, not some flipper dealer. It may happen any day now…
Nothing beats having the watch…
Bought first hand…with warranty and receipt with your name. I can imagine your joy when you receive the JC brand new. The day will come. I strongly believe so. I also strongly believe all the major brands are reading this forum a lot. Surprised that T Mos...
Karma came today for me
Got this at a very good deal. You won’t believe how much I got it for. Speake-marin 38mm, with the Vaucher 3002 movement. ...
It’s a strap beast I predict
Gonna wear it on a nato. Patina is nice; I don’t know why the youtubers are making a fuss out of patina. I’m not going to polish it even if it oxidises.
Thanks Nico
This is a sensual piece. The way silver absorbs and loses heat is different from steel. It cools with the car airconditioning, and heats up quickly too.
Congrats Cookie monster
Your Tudor fits you wel. I am curious Cookie. I go to visit an AD who is new to me. Maybe another AD tomorrow, also new to me. Why always different AD’s? I shop for brands and their movements, and it can be a favorite AD do not sell a watch i have an eye ...
A fellow watch member told me
Form genuine friendships with ADs. If they wanna know your life story, maybe it is really because they want to be your friend. Sometimes ADs can be very straightforward to tell honest truth. They rather sell you something which fits u, than something u li...
“ cuz they are often standing the whole day and skipping their meals”
😞😞😞 Thanks for the sage advice
No sage, I’m Rosemary and Parsley
This advice someone gave me on the forum. Maybe it is Clueless_collector maybe it is Yacomino. Can’t remember it is either one of them.
This cookie monster got Doug in trouble
Doug was surfing watchprosite and his daughter suddenly saw cookie monster on the screen. Hahahahahahaha!!
Wow, cookie’s voracious appetites for BB58 has no satiety in sight.
Congrats, and looking forward to the wrist shots!
Any techno songs to recommend Cap’N
Today I was listening to Darude Sandstorm while driving. Felt like an arcade game…dooodooodooodooodoo
Very nice…
Today a song plays in my mind… Love is all around by DjBobo - Love is all around, everywhere you go, love is all around..see it in the eyes of a a mother and child.
Congratulations Cookies 👍🏻👏🏻
This 925 will always be a special one, as a first for Tudor. I buy the watch for myself, not for someone else. Like you said, hype watches may not be the right one. Some good AD sales are nice people and with business situations, their hands are tied too ...
Indeed I believe in Karma too
What you give is what you get in return. Have a great day ahead!!
yes! Congrats Mike and Cookie Monster! My favorite Tudor model of any of them
I enjoyed reading the post, as you did a good job of writing it in Cookie Monster's voice and cadence; I found myself hearing it in Cookie Monster's own voice! That's a great piece, Tudor really hit a home run with that model, especially at that price poi...
Tank you Dugless
Pooh Bear will write someting tomoro. Someting Britsh. He’s got a piece he likes a lot. He hid it somewhere. I’m trying to find it. ...
About a month ago, I got a call from my pal Marc . . .
. . . who posts here occasionally under the login marcD. "Guess what, Art?" "Uh . . . the Dodgers are in first place?" (We're both LA Dodgers fans.) "No, but almost as good. I was at our firing range in Burbank a little while ago. Guess who I ran into?" "...
amazing story
Yes indeed, the 2-3 degrees of separation theory might be true. Wow, you both know Marc, and it was coincidental he met you at the range. Sometimes I think the Superstring theory is true...if you resonate something, it tugs on a similar resonance a millio...
Thanks buddy
Wish you a great day ahead. A good swim will be nice, and a hearty Beef wellington after that with some guiness stout.
Wow! A Steiff Cookie Monster! Tudor watch sold separately!
A Steiff, made-in-Germany, Cookie Monster! Very cool! Tudor watch sold separately of course!
Thanks Patrick
I think these Steiff collectibles kept me sane during the lockdown. I’m guilty of still being a Peter Pan.
"The creative adult is the child that has survived" - Ursula K. Le Guin (and a favorite quote of Max Busser)
You're like Max Busser of MB&F Watches!
I saw he wrote that too
Yes indeed. U should see some of my friends. They did not grow up, reminding me of a man-child. But the up-side is they are always seeing the world in a quizical way.
I just noticed your Avatar picture!
It's a Cookie Monster WAVE! I always just thought it was a Japanese wave motif. But I just noticed it for the first time today that it's Cookie Monster's eyes! Now... If I were a kid, I would've noticed that detail a long time ago!
Haha
I like these art parodies especially when they add cartoons in them. Found the image on the web.=D
It’s a true story
Just after I called my friend to wish him happy birthday, the call from the AD came. My friend’s name in Arabic means “All Knowing”
How prescient!
Don’t tell me he told you something good was coming in your near future?! ))
Nope, we were talking about marriages and culture
Random things like friends always talk about. All in good spirit. I felt good after talking to him.
Here it is
I had to go collect it today. Drove 30 minutes to the city to get it. It is stunning!! ...
