A special MIH
I was presented with the opportunity to purchase an MIH watch pre-owned, without having to deal with the agonizing wait. I jumped at the chance, and was pleasantly surprised to see the signature of Mr. Paul Gerber engraved on the back.
I enquired about the piece, and was pleasantly surprised to hear from Embassy that there were two pieces engraved as such, and that I was very lucky to get it.
Lucky indeed!
Best,
Eric

Excellent Eric!
A great piece you have there. Having Paul's signature I think is something really cool. Getting a watchmakers to sign a watch is something really neat. I once helped a friend get his Freak dial signed by Ludwig & Rolf. It was agreed UN would do it during ...
Tim, getting the Freak signed by Ludwig is a great idea
i assume it was done in ink on the glass. i've got 3 ludwig designed pieces, but the chances of getting any of them signed is very slim. best Graham
i wouldnt normally agree with buying an MIH used, but in this case, you lucky lucky man
when it comes to the MIH i seem to have a cross match of double standards. i prefer to buy most of my watches pre owned, but because the MIH raises money for the museum it is something i bought new and something i generally believe most people should try ...
Pre-owned MIHs made a contribution to the museum, Graham.
No reason to think there is anything wrong with buying one used, as it has already helped support the museum's work. I love the MIH, and wear mine regularly. That's very cool to have Gerber's signature on the back--you'll find that you enjoy the watch mor...
you have a valid point...
you have a valid point there expwmbat although another one sold would make an extra contribution. perhaps i put too much emphasis on the raising money issue when the really important bit is the superb watch. i love mine and would possibly keep it if i had...
Very nice...
Congrats with this (almost) unique piece. I'm counting the weeks... during Baselworld i will finally get my MIH Watch
