A personal thanks to the citizens of Great Britain
 
To each of you that voted to exit the EU this is a personal thanks to each of you. Whilst you may have ensured the misery of millions of people for a certain period of time, the collapsing pound and the VAT refund made many of us very happy. The last of the watch trilogy collected today!!!

PS the 5130G I had sold 2 weeks earlier as o didn't like Riyadh on the dial and Moscow in the wrong place. I missed it plenty and following the collapse found a BNIB at the AD for $500 less than I had sold and it has Dubai on it which was the earlier edition!perfect!

The 5930 is still scheduled for December delivery. But there will be an exceptional non PP next year

I am South African....after stealing our gold and diamonds you now insist I need a visa to come to the place currently know as United Kingdom and soon just Engkand & Wales!

mps354 20 August 2016 07:39 AM

Beautiful pics my friend! Such a well rounded collection. Hopefully your 5930 comes sooner than later. You will have many complications covered after her arrival: WT, Chrono, Moonphase, GMT, and AC :clap::clap::clap:

Non watch related but o was the only bidder at Christies the day after Brexit and here is one of the bargains I collected yesterday

Oryx 20 August 2016 10:40 PM
awesome incomings - i managed to pick up a total of zero new PP's in the post brexit pre PP price rise period.

But have been informed by my AD to expect a couple of new incomings in the next week or so - obviously at the updated prices!

enjoy your incomings my friend - its a nice collection you are building

codecow 20 August 2016 10:46 PM
Wow the 5524! My life was fine before clicking this thread but that wrist shot... so nice!

Psmith 21 August 2016 12:00 AM
