Oi you!
You are getting heavy on my shoulders! Not sure how that is possible when you mainly eat all that fancy haute cuisine food! 
Help! I am not sure what bug I have caught
as it is only February and I have bought three watches with a fourth on its way. For some of you, that may be nothing spectacular but when one started the year with only two watches and suddenly one has five, seven weeks later, it is quite a shock to the ...
What’s the problem my friend? You’re just deeply addict 😁
Big congratulations for this truly gorgeous Patek. At that pace, you’ll end 2018 with more watches than all of us here 😂😉 Best wishes Alkiro
Thanks Alkiro!
but this addiction must stop!! Ha! I may hold a jumble sale of small Pateks one of these days
You are not giving me much hope Alkiro!!
Maybe in my next life, I will collect independents!!
Second semester???!!
I will be targeting the Patek skeleton my friend (and only the Patek skeleton!!!)
Fortunately for me, the situation is quite straightforward
if I buy anything else from now to August, I can say goodbye to the skeleton and as you know, I am obliged to buy this watch which is a commitment I am happy to fulfill!
I have concluded that
you are THE devil in disguise my friend!! Now that I am retired with zero income, low interest rates are quite irrelevant for me. I think if I buy anything else, I shall have to start selling something (and the Aston went last year). So it would have to b...
The definition of 'master' can be construed either way
It could mean I have overcome my addiction and stop tormenting Patek dealers or it could mean, I continue hunting down these beautiful dress watches that most women would adore and most men would frown upon!
Thank you very much Alkiro for saying so!
I think I am but it is still nice coming from a watch authority like yourself!
Modest as expected :-)
For me you are an authority Alkiro - hey, you spend enough time on here, you must be an authority by now!! If I ever do want to part with the 1530A, I shall be in touch but it is almost irreplaceable in my collection and coincidentally, the only one witho...
You are most welcome Alkiro!
And since purchasing it, you are the only other man who has ever tried it on! I shall keep it well
Thirty seven years in the UK
it is not so easy to adjust to a plus eight hour time zone!! It did cross my mind to work as a security guard on a night shift to help finance the purchase of my next Patek!
I am open to any suggestions my dear friend!
Any brands looking a night security guard who is 'trustworthy'??!!
That would be a dream job Alkiro!
I doubt if anyone here would be seriously willing to work as a security guard in the Valley de Joux(as everyone is quite normal unlike me!) but I promise you, I gladly would. The only problem is that I am jet lagged here not there so I will have to settle...
I think I have a better chance
at mastering any martial arts compared to the impossible but absolutely lovely French language!!
I tried once 18 years ago in London and
went out with a French girl for a few months. Apart for J'taime, I did not learn much else!!!
I have heard you speak and seen your writing
so your teacher was obviously a lot better than mine!! Or perhaps, you are a better student than I ever was!!!
Lucky you!
I did my degree in Cardiff in Wales and in my three years there, not a single Welsh girl gave me a second look!
Just because you didn’t drink beer my friend 😉 Nothing else
I had mine in Swansea. Best wishes Alkiro
You were in Swansea??!!!
You stole our women with your attractive French accent which explains why they ignored me!! Catherine Zeta Jones?!
I was there in 2001/2002. You’re right! The French accent offers a lot of interesting possibilities he he 😁
Unfortunately, I never met Catherine there. Michael met her before me 😩 Best wishes Alkiro
You are such a young punk my friend!
I was there from 1982 to 1985 when Catherine was still at Swansea! That silly Michael is just one fatal attraction!!
Life is quite unfair!
How come he gets all the best parts and still gets to end up with Catherine??!!
Good God Alkiro!!
For a split second, I thought it was my 1530A blown up into a clock!! Okay, whats the damage?! I like Erwin Sattler clocks and that moonphase is quite alluring. But I must resist! I must! I must!! I must!!!
I think I do not even have to resist
because this clock must cost way too much. Have I said how enchanting that moon looks?! Very nice. And stop being such a devil!!!
Right now I am not sure how you are doing it
but you are sitting on both my shoulders!!! Aaargh!!!!
Oi you!
You are getting heavy on my shoulders! Not sure how that is possible when you mainly eat all that fancy haute cuisine food!
And I am just the opposite I know!
Will actually give the Malaysian AD for Erwin Sattler a call tomorrow to find out what your friendship is costing me!
I hope you are at least being fair
and spreading it around and not just making me your exclusive victim!!
I have heard stories about a horological hitman
but I always thought it was an urban legend! I think I will sacrifice myself and let you focus on one victim as I fight you off bravely!
And I have little doubt
that you are THE horological hitman but I shall go down fighting!
I have defeated the rest!
You are the mother ship! You have churned them out like a cat given birth to kittens! You are the ultimate and only hitman!
Ooops! I am so old fashioned
not just in my watches but even in the abbreviations! I learn something new! Now, if you have finished rolling on floor laughing, go visit a watch shop. They should be open by now If I was living in Geneva, my credit card would be maxed out!!
You are a hitman with willpower my friend!!
It is like a drug dealer who does not consume his own drugs!!!
but as you know
I am on London or Geneva time so I am wide awake looking for posts to reply to. I have banned myself from looking at used watches sites!!
It has just occurred to me
that this might be the longest exchange of banter on the forum ever!! Thank you for your preseverance!!!
on this note
I shall call it a night my friend. It is 4.10am and I have a hot date with Catherine in dreamland. Nope, you cannot join in!
Next time,
I will send you instead. That French accent will win her over!! My bald head will not!
