yup...
Hey Bill,
Indeed it has been a while since we last spoke... You definitely need to come and visit during spring - Europe is so nice at that time of year... I was thinking about this little project of yours yesterday: while it is taking some time and must require a lot of patience, it must have been such an enjoyable experience to know that there is one special watch especially made for you by one of the best in the industry (whom you know on a personal level), and get regular updates of the progress... Similar to the birth of a child 
Cheers,
Francois
Thought I'd just dream out loud...
If I could have any watch right now... I'd get the Malte Chrono perpetual in platinum... or... in the future, assuming there will be one, the Patrimony perpetual chrono in platinum... I was just thinking about a Patek 5970G... and they are so nice... but ...
It's nice to dream.....
I've been focused so long on getting my Jean Daniel Nicolas tourbillon, which I ordered almost two years ago and expect in a couuple of months, that I haven't really thought about what I want next! That'll be a nice problem to have again! It might be the ...
the watch you are awaiting...
sounds extraordinary. I hope we can all benefit from photos!
Ooooooh
I didn't want to say which I preferred, but now that you say so, the round case version is beyond words amazing. I too prefer it. I can't wait to see the pics. Quite a sensational choice. WOW. I admire not only the watch, but the very individual choice yo...
I'm really looking forward to taking possession of it....
it has been about a two year wait. I plan to take plenty of pictures and spin a few articles out of this watch. Stay tuned... Bill
You're a patient man, Bill...
but this is one case were the watch will have definitely been worth the wait I can't wait to see the pictures... Have you decided if you'll come and collect it in person? Cheers, Francois
Hi Francois....
I've been meaning to send you a note lately. I just got an update today from Roth and things are looking good for a delivery this spring! That said, the case he ordered six months ago still hasn't arrived! I'm still doubt my ability to come pick it up in ...
I was lucky enough to try one recently, Mostel
And I fully share your dream and opinion! To me, it is even more elegant than the 5970. Can't say better! The moonphase, the aspect of the dial, the platinum case are strong points. The only small flaw is the " pt 950 " written on the dial. What? A 5970 P...
to help you dream in color... :-)
I totally feel your pain, as I dreamed about that watch (and its predecessor, the 47112) for about 5 years - 5 years during which I didn't buy any watch and patiently saved up so that I could buy my Grail Watch... % years during which I litterally obsesse...
Gasp, drool, stare, stare
Thank you!! What a great tour of this watch!! I really am speechless, I find this watch so elevated. The moonphase is 'alive'. Stunning!!! I will save these pics and gaze at them til I one day do own this watch.
Thank you for your kind words
I am happy that you enjoyed the pics... And keep on dreaming, I'm sure it will come true sooner than you think... At least, it did for me... in the end I was able to get the watch as a result of me getting compensated for being a victim in a car crash... ...
