That piece is a grail watch to me
This was before all the hype about mickey watches. There was a time when they just released novel pieces and purchasing one was just making a call, filling up a form, and making a payment.
Those times are not here anymore. I wanted to get the Kurono turquoise piece yesterday, but the 500 pieces have been snapped up so quickly.
Last I heard, the SUF turquoise pilots watch piece is still available for order.
Possible "Gifts" to forum members: A hypothetical post
The goal of this post is to see if you can get the mindset and ideals distilled into a piece for another forum member. I hope you enjoy it. I find that watches make very meaningful gifts for loved ones, business associates etc. In this post, I'd like to e...
What a novel idea š.
Iāll add a few - cookies: Charles Frodsham Double Impulse chronometer. He recently confessed/submitted that a dress piece is what he needs best. And this combines all the movement-tech and material-use to keep his incoming thread lengthy and informative -...
Wow I didnāt know of this house
Went to check it out and was blown away. It uses old methods to make modern pieces. Indeed, the choice is highly interesting. Yes I need a dress piece for sure. I like the choices for Sham1 and AmisE too.
Yes we were too late to the party
There must be more makers like that coming up. Thing is, I have not been able to venture into the 80k and beyond arena which these type of makers charge for their masterpieces. I was late to Sarpaneva too. Should have taken a trip to Kuala Lumpur a decade...
Iām not ready for the 80k arena neither, but by the time that I may be, they would have joined the unobtainium list.
So, and since some of these have very long delivery times (up to 6 years now for this Charles Frodsham), I figured Iād try to catch up to those whoāve had a head start. So I just placed my order yesterday š. Another purist did too. Come join. PM and if yo...
I think I will write a post on this
Based on a condensation (summary) of what is know of this masterpiece. Watching the video now on it.
Oh, thatās gonna be quite the horological dissection. Looking forward to it.
Read the SJX article too (hope to not be violating any forum rules)
He was here many years ago
Used to be so active in his posts. Together with Kong, Forvesta, Anthony Tsai etc.
For me it would be the "cleanest" watch of them all.. the EICHI I by Credor.
And some SprĆ¼ngli Luxemburgerli š¤

You always push the envelope, my friend. Hell, you donāt just push it, you make paper planes š¤£š¤£š¤£
So who does like to make paper planes?
How 'bout I gift Art his Grand Seiko. He's been a mentor and friend for decades, yah, we're that old ;-)
What would be the perfect gift to Hussam?
I am curious about your interpretation of his personality and the piece youād choose to match it.
Iāll take that AP āthe beastā and wear it with pride.
Thereās a famous arab saying that a gift should neither be gifted to someone else, not sold. And a gift from a fellow purist would be the centerpiece of my collection. Iād still b%#*h and moan about the modular chrono and the date and and andā¦š¤£š¤£š¤£ ...
I think 'the beast' would be a nice addition for you; you may need both wrists to wear it though. May be tough pulling it off without it looking like handcuffs.
He'll ship you a winder too, so your date is always current! The modular chrono though, I hear you.....lol
I need a winder myself
A variable speed winder that can wind 4 watches at once. Hint hint to Santa
This particular Doxa . . .
. . . belongs to an acquaintance. It previously belonged to Jean Michel Cousteau. And before that, it belonged to Jacques. It would make a perfect gift to Bill. Art ...
I wish i had that oddball piece.
My heart likes Rolex, but Iām in a strange conundrum. I donāt like how the brand is treating the customers - they basically made watch collectors lose their pride/dignity to seek their pieces. My experience of buying an AK and trying to get it authenticat...
Hmmmm, for some unknown reason I was
left off the recipient list, you can just gift me a Reverso.
Maybe a good choice would be
Thomas_3: given a Patek with an enamel dial, from FabR.=D Or a Reverso ellipses āPort of Singaporeā edition
Girard Perregaux Laureato
If it have an automatic movement, itās perfect. Why? One quartz watch is enough for me, orā¦ it must be more Longines Conquests quartz watches, or a Rolex Oyster quartz. There is room for a Girard Perregaux Laureato quartz 40th edition, so youāve got it ri...
Now, your turn for ideas

You know my new dream
It is to fully restore an IWC mark 12, and wear it like it is brand new. This hobby doesnāt only involve expensive pieces. Like Nico does, it has an element of heritage and effort. Anyone can spend money (even a chimpanzee can buy an AP ROO) - what separa...
If uāre in Manilla
My buddy is there. He wears a Rolex submariner that i went to buy with him many years ago when he was a VP of a bank in Singapore.
Haha, iāll send u mine too
Iāve got a friend who sends me postcards from every country he goes to.
I sense, I will hunt for this
To refurbish it, in the same tender loving care as you did for your Volvo.
ha! I love it! Terrific theme and post; well thought out!
I appreciate you thinking of me in your new windfall; congrats on become the world's newest multi-billionaire! I do feel however, that the least I can do is pay for postage on my new Aqua Terra Ultralight. Good choice by the way; I admire the insane techn...
I wish I could
I did give away watches to my buddies, because I know I wonāt live forever. Nothing major, just in the 3k ballpark.
Iād like to admit
In the past, i did incur debt to get pieces I like. It spiralled out of control with the purchase of 1 piece. Now, life has given more. No more debts on compounding credit card interests or credit card usage. The AD gives better prices for cash/bank trans...
Interesting concept and thanks for
thinking of me with GG whom I am a big fan of ! Naturally the Hong Kong šš° handover is also a meaningful event for me !
