To me it was only natural and obvious that you should be a moderator Gordon! Congratulations!! You are the fourth moderator who I have met - Melvyn, Patrick, Imran and now you - and yes, I am 'collecting' moderators!!

Chopard urushi and then collect more artistic pieces from there ! Cheers, Gordon

Maybe a Patek handicraft one day but for now, I will settle for a Patek skeleton watch. Good objective though - aim high, hit low!! ...  

enamel dial to match your colorful retirement life with beautiful Malaysian ladies !
