We'll keep our eyes wide open… Bon courage, Mike

we will all keep an eye out for you. Same goes for your Patek.

my message on the PP forum. Really sorry to hear this and will keep an eye open

Really sorry for your lost

These watches will popup sooner or later i think .

Hope it found and returned.

I will keep my eyes and ears open for you.

...I hope that's good news for bmwmw!

I’m happy to report that, after lengthy court proceedings, I have finally recovered my stolen Simplicity. I want to thank my friend SJX in Singapore and also Mr Dufour himself for their help in recovering the watch. Also, thank you to all you forum member...
