Yes, please do so and keep us posted.

Still remains a question: If you cannot achieve the whole collection of enamel dials ( because some are not your taste ), will you sell those you have to go for... Well, you know? Best, my friend. Nicolas

If you have to buy the 9 other enamels, + the three you already have, this is not a fraction anymore! Best, Nicolas
