Yes, on Wednesday

I know a couple of people that are going on the Friday but I'm only a stickleback so didn't get an invite.
Sounds like it should be a good event.

Stickleback won't be able to get the green 5168 in Sep 2019.

Maybe his AD does charity work on the account of watches he's broken recently

I just took them up on the large discount they offered me as recompense for the inconvenience caused.

David / Danestaff has just text me to say he's there on the Friday, wearing his orange crocs so you can all spot him, and picking up his 5231

Little disappointing we weren’t allowed to handle pieces but the museum world time was lovely.

They let us try what we wanted from the cabinets, that’s strange.

It was a great event, travelling on the Northern Belle was a brilliant experience and seeing the old museum pieces up close was remarkable.

Did you go on the Thursday or Friday? Maybe they got so much stick on the Wednesday that they changed policy.

Did they have a 5520 and 5531? Love to see some wrist shots...

They had a 5520P but they were not allowed to take it out from the showcase. I can't recall seeing a 5531R. They had museum pieces such as 542, again not allowed to try.

They had all the current world time and travel time pieces and people could try those. They even had a 6102R

No I went earlier in the week, we just have been the first few to go! I tried on pretty much anything I wanted which was nice. But then again you can do that at the Salon in Geneva

Lol, perhaps one of your party tried to make off with a piece.

Thankfully I didn’t go on the same tour as Aquaman

I am guessing that people going to the event would be wearing their finest pieces as "bragging right" ....transport was on a train per the post...

[Josh1000]

The WT is probably the least loved function...they sit in every AD in every metal....however...slap some enamel with the promise of doubling your money and you cant get them....I wonder how many owners would actually have a J by preference and a WT other than pure financial reasons...I would allocate only to those existing WT owners

You know a lot about Rhone despite from Amsterdam

What is the name of your friend who was at Scotland event? Was is Peter Shore, Lord Voldemort or Bag lady. I guess it is Karl

[Analysing You]

I would happily have a J by reference, that’s why I’ve asked for it (as have many other collectors). If money is your motivation, you don’t pick a dress piece like this, but hey if that’s what floats your boat so be it!

How do you get "offered" a 5131 or 5231? It's an application piece...in the UK you would be allocated by Rhone not the AD...an AD would put your name for consideration but certainly couldnt promise anything ...I guess in USA they are allocated to AD's to offer to the biggest whales

ok, you want to know precisely...i was at the factory last week and at some point we were given the chance to ask for pieces we would like to have (nautis and aquas excluded, by mutual understanding). first i asked for 5131P and a few hours later i was told ok, early-mid next year. the next day, when most of the PP kool aid had dissipated, i politely said that i had changed my mind.
there you have it:::)))
anyway, i shall get the 5231J next year.
