Superstitious on Friday the 13th? Not me, my latest addition…

To start off, I wanted to extend my heartfelt THANK YOU to the various Purists that “enabled” and made this acquisition possible!  Thank you for putting up with my incessant emailing with stupid and anal questions.  Your advice and wisdom really made this acquistion possible. 

This was my first private-party forum purchase and I have to say, the experience was great.  The seller, San Mai, was courteous and profession and the piece was truly a safe queen.  Sometimes things just tend to fall into place and this transaction, to me, was meant to be.  Thank you San for your patience as the deal was originally closed in mid June and due to various travel conflicts and my desire for a face-to-face deal, San personally delivered the piece to me last Friday.  THANK YOU for a smooth and flawless transaction. 

This piece was the one that enticed me to venture into the world of PAMs.  It looked stunning on all the photos and I really appreciate the movement collaboration.  The piece at 45mm sits well on my wrist and the gold hands are just stunning.  And really, nothing beats this beauty on the wrist. 

Once again, thank you everyone and here are the photos….(all with iPhone 4)

San Mai (seller) and I – sorry for the blurry iPhone image

My first wrist shot as I was so excited I had to pull over and enjoy this beauty…

Few more shots of the golden hands…

First strap change was not as bad as I thought and I picked up this strap a month ago (this is a sickness, picking up straps before the watch)

Lume Shot!

Thanks again to all the Purists (too many to name but you know who you are!) and to the seller. 

Thanks for reading,

Phil
