Thank you friends

This is one where I was very lucky......

These kind of watches are not to be found by going into a shop and plonking the credit card down on the counter.

Unfortunately, they are very few and far between these days and to find one like this was just short of a miracle.

Enjoy your weekend

Cette jolie beauté est une de ces merveilles qui transcende l'absolu, mes très chers!
Une jolie boite raffinée, avec un mirifique bleu azur, cette dernière sait réjouir son porteur telle une damoiselle aux discrets mais néenmoins profonds atours.
(ok c'est facile pour moi)

I.e: It rocks.

You are so right, and I unfortunately have the regret of passing on a nice one of these myself. Similar, but it was a Lolly Pop instead. It was a complete package though with and extra insert to boot. I could...and should kick myself for it.

It's only those you pass on you come to regret it seems.

Great find Steve, and congratulations.
