How could I turn down a challenge? . . .

New Watch in the House
A naive watch collector wandered into a GS Boutique (no intention of buying) and wandered out with this … I said, "It happens to the best of us, Art. You will be very happy with it (or easily swap it to one of us).” Mike ...
In this case, mistaken identity: Art bought the watch
I’m not saying I never unintentionally bought a watch, I have. But not today.
You missed the action, Tony! Wish you there to see 'Mr Willpower' . . .
. . . fold like an accordion. Time from first sight to final decision was less than ten minutes. And most of those were spent figuring out financing angles. 🤑
Art, don't blame me on this one....
All I did was challenge you to an afternoon of pool!

If you knew how long it took to close the transaction?
And how many of us were needed for backup ? 😂 😂 😂
Next time, I'll bring a credit card . . .
. . . with a higher limit. 😃 Left the high limit cards at home for security reasons. "No way I'll be buying a watch," said I to myself. 🙄
I did that once, then ended up in European Watch Company in Boston
Big mistake -- Nice Watch, No 'big' Credit Card. Groan. They said "No problem".
No problem at all for the GS boutique. They took a substantial deposit . . .
. . . and will ship it Wednesday. Why Wednesday? Because I'll be home all day Friday . . . intercepting delivery won't be a problem. Why ship? NYC sales tax: 8.75%. Ventura County sales tax: 7.25%. ...
Congrats Art, it’s a cool one.
And that space downstairs at the Boutique was pretty sweet. Looking forward to seeing it on your wrist on Friday.
Wonderful piece!
Congratulations. Love the Evo9 collection. I have a Green Birch that I really enjoy.
Just to be clear, Moderator Art bought this watch and asked me to post it 😀 for him.
Art Must have been internet-challenged back there on the East Coast

Huge congratulations to Art!
I know how much he wanted a black dial GS and I’m glad he found one to his taste. This Night Birch SLGH017 looks great! Best, Emmanuel
Fantastic birch!
I have seen it in the flesh and it is wonderful. Understated but the opposite if blunt. Enjoy!
you got a good story and a cool watch
Love the black dial .. the texture is more visible on the black.. so you did good seeing it in person. tomba
Great piece. Stunning.
Congrats to our dear Art, may he wear it in the best of health.
