Wow, that's quite the acquisition story. With the # of hoops you had to jump through to get ahold of this timepiece, I surely hope you enjoy it for years to come. Congrats!

Great buy , Congrats
Got mine in France few months ago thanks to another member of « Forum a Montres », biggest French watch forum, who posted he had seven days to pick his watch in London but couldn’t go because of Covid restrictions.

He gently gave me all his Informations and I bought and collected it through family in London.

Congrats. Fantastic story & interesting way to get it. Strange the way they told you 2 years but told me 9 months, 6 months ago. Maybe because I live in England??
