Parmigiani Fleurier - Bug Super Sport and ye olde testicular wager (part 15 of 33)
Rocky mountain oysters, calf fries, cowboy caviar…. I prefer calling a spade a spade. I will eat testicles. But not mine... This is just going to "one of those posts". I am just 48 hours from going downtown to pick up my new De Betune, a "simple Ti DB28" ...
Great post, it definetely brought a smile to my face.
Equally as exceptional time pieces, I'm sure you don't regret buying those when you did Best, Jorge
If I am NOT CORRECT in my presumptive predictions, my wife may just
use that knife on my balls.
If that happens..
Just get a custom made sapphire set of balls, similiar to appearance to the Haldimann H8. So when you look down you can be reminded that watches ultimately led to the demise of your family jewels But I hope that it never comes to that.
I have just one more day before collecting the De Bethune and flooding pictures here
I bet the same thing with my wife, that the DB will be an investment.
a unique - for a eunuch - way to wind up a watch
Sorry but I cannot replace those IRResistable tidbits of yours T :34 This message has been edited by amerix on 2012-03-26 12:01:01
The DB28 has the same bet riding on it.
I see it as I saw the Lange 1 when it cost $18,000usd back in 1996. I actually placed the same bet with the IWC cal 5000 ltd edition, which was $15,600 usd in 2002, rg. Testicles intact!!!!!
Chuckles. Save the oil. I was right so far. Richemont brands did well, so did some ahci.
mistake and that will be the end of buying expensive watches. Let's see...Lange 1, IWC cal 5000, Opus V, Freak, Antiqua,Vianney's classic and Goldpfeil, Panerais (which I actually sold quite a few, after 2 years of wear, to test the theory), RM002, MB&F 1...
You're damn right about the bank these days.
I think Richemont, with its conservative leader "Rupert the bear", will continue to be a (generally) safe bet.
I may start to doubt
a bit after thinking about the past performances of anything named after a car, perhaps this will be the exception.
Bernard, your recent posts are .....
sometimes confronting, even a bit odd with the discussions but they are always thought provoking, at least for me. You have shown since the early years of AHCI, that you championed them and had the BxLLS to commit . In short , you are a watch taste leader...
I enjoyed your post as always!
Great to hear that you are getting your DB finally. Regards Rene
A valuable piece :)
While you put it on the wrist, it seems to give an expensive smile on the face, a pricey moment of fun and an unreasonnable joy all day long. Like your post. Thanks Bernard Francois
Bernard, your candid posts are inciteful, as usual I will...
Pass on those "oysters". I am unfamilar with the bug you are referring to.
