Sincere congrats on an exquisite Calatrava acquisition D., and thanks for offering such a knowledgeable and interesting presentation to my forum!
Like I said on multiple other occasions, I'm sincerely proud of the variety of in-depth contributions the Patek forum has been hosting in recent weeks and months.

I hope the new fascinating adventure you just began into the world of vintage Patek will grant you increasing satisfactions going forward -- both in terms of new acquisitions, and just as important, in terms of pure scholarship!
Cheers,

A big +1 on the PS part, Julian -- and I'm speaking as someone who never had an IG account, nor an account with any other watch fora! :-)
