wow, awesome invite!

You got me thinking... How tight does the relationship with AD need to be to score something like this? Mind elaborating? Purchased one piece? Multiple pieces? Just curious.

TBH he supplied me 2 hard to get pieces (one was the unobtainable 5131R) that s it , i bought some jewellery for the wife but just for a couple of grands , want to believe that he feels my passion for these watches.may it helps that those watches are still in my possession.

Thanks for elaborating.

5131?!? Wow, beautiful piece.

Sounds like your AD certainly respects your passion and rewards it. As they say... "game respects game..."

Trip should be amazing. Congrats, again!

That sounds really fun man! Sounds like a great little get away.

I’d like to only have to buy a few k worth of diamonds lol... worst part is I know what diamonds are worth.. and the recent sales are not doing well from DeBeers.


Now that 5131... I still want to hold ur wrist ;)

if you are aware with the history of diamonds then we shouldn t really get into details :-)
I m still amazed TBH to get such a trip , I did Geneva a few yrs back but that s a completely different level of entertainment.
You guys think I should bring both of my watches ?Actually my Nautilus needs to be pressure checked

They will travel to SG earlier because of a preview and gala dinner on 26 Sep, but shd be ok for your visit even if travelling time is factored in.

Have fun!

Not knowing anything about how these trips work ... do they pay your travel costs, (flights, hotels, etc)?

Have a great time
