A magic day....
Living in Paris gives me the extraordinary opportunity to welcome all of you, who come by here.
Guess who came to spend a few hours of Friendship, of pleasure and horological dreams?
Here is an hint:
In amazing condition, indeed.
After a good lunch, we spent some time at some Vintage Dealers...
Just to see some marvels, and among them, some big crowns.
Here a 6538 close to my 5508:
Original laquered dial but small crown, or service dial and big crown?
I favorized the laquered dial to the service dial, but a Big Crown is really magic and impressive.
We also saw a 5510 in impressive condition, with a superb dial...A killing piece I didn't want ot take in picutre as its owner just got it.
But seeing this kind of watch just feeds our dreams!
Well, as you can guess, this terrific day couldn't end with some new additions...

But this will be another topic.
One thing is sure, our virtual home gives us the opportunity to make some great friendships.
Isn't it the most important?
Best, and thank you!
Nicolas

Besides the traffic jams, the taxes, the mad prices, the cops giving you fines at every moment, the lack of parking places, the strikes, the bad weather, etc... But sometime, things work like in a Dream, and Paris is hard to beat. Best, my friend. Nicolas
