[hefty dose of dry humor] An amazing collection, my friend. Enjoy it in good health
The moon looks more real than the others and is three dimensional. Thank you for posting!
It is in fact a very nice dress watch. I never thought I would own a bling bling ....
Is the trade mark of de Bethune...both pieces are very wearable because of the flexible lugs.
Thank you and keep them Coming.
I love the 1815 mp - so classy and rare.
