WRISTSCAN for January 24 is now OPEN.
Hello all, The theme of this week's WS is: Interesting acquisition story. As a raminder, this can mean anything you like. We want to read interesting/funny/harrowing/suspensful stories about how you got that one piece you wanted or just had to have. Credi...
Could be one of many for me, but i will go with this one
This was the first Patek Philippe that I ever bought. 2009. Up until 2009, I had only ever bought Rolex or JLC. But I saw this 5070P and just had to have it. I rang around one or two ADs. They told me I would have no hope at all of getting one as demand w...
You did well my friend.
You pulled the trigger on the right time,Before it’s too it was meant to be
love the story...
... just make it a bit more special. I recall 2009, financial crisis, etc... and we couldnt even find 1 to see how it looks like. So I went for the R then 3 years i managed to get the P. An event it was to get that 5070P. The good old times
Here is my story
Last March I was ready to buy my first vintage Calatrava when I saw the 3417 amagnetic ,It was for sale in Italy by a well known dealer.I decided to buy the watch without seeing it(Not something that I would do usually) but the dealers reputation watch h...
Good luck / bad luck story.
More good luck, as the Amagnetic looks great on you. Thanks for sharing.
Yes,I believe good things come
After some patience ! The 3417 gives me immense pleasure when I wear it now
Bababa ! Incredible luck too ! I am so happy for you my friens and a;so...
...so impatient to see it one day. Just wait a few months so that I can make some photos again because for the time being I can't and then pleeeease bring it too me for a super photo shooting . Best my friend enjoy it and wear it in the best of health
Great story to start this interesting thread/Theme for this week end my friend Zabreg!! It´s truly a torture but a very sweet one I feel! The watch is beautiful and I wish...
... you a happy Birdthday celebration and a lot of enjoyment from this stunning Patek chrono! Be it with a lot of good health my dear friend! Cheers! Abel.
Thanks, my friend. That was a difficult 11 months.
I look forward to reading yours, if you can pick 1 out.
I know well what that wait means my friend! I´m sure it was worth the waiting and that you are enjoying it so much! Yes, I have several stories...
... which I would gladly share. I will chose one and post it this afternoon with much pleasure. Cheers! Abel
Hunting watches can be difficult but if you have good helpful friends around the world...
it not only makes it easier, it also provides a special meaning to the watch. It can be anything, a vintage watch you hunted but then appears in Argentina, with a seller only speaking Spanish, no international shipping option or any meaningful way of paym...
This reminds me of an awesome story early in my career
I'm working for a tech start-up around 1999 and we are trying to land Merrill Lynch as a light-house customer. Our VP of Business Development, Mark, is very well connected at ML and gets us personal meetings with the CEO and the COO at their New York HQ. ...
What? I'm talking about someone else.
Someone else that's not as good looking as you... or dangerous.
Yup, that just about sums up the WPS experience.
The people and friends you make, above all, make this an amazing place. And be careful with that Moscow dude, I hear he’s got a screw or two loose.
Yes, this community is a fantastic place! :)
You come for the watches, you stay for the friends! Best Blomman
Great stories dear friend CC!! It shows we collectors have many clever resources to get what we are hunting!! And many international contacts as well! Lol! Great shots...
... and watches to illustrate this!! Hagwe my friend! Abel.
each one has a story, never went into an AD and just bought one
Maybe the most beautiful or most epic is my Reverso Rouge. I wanted one so badly since years. 2 years ago one spotted on the market place of Purist. The price was good, the watch in mint condition. The only concern was the localisation. I live on a small ...
Very nice story, very nice friend...
Is she the oine on the first photo together with your Reverso Rouge ?
The original ☝️
The new reverso is an imposter. True reverso tribute is with ‘REVERSO’ logo not JLC & loses art deco appeal with circular sub seconds!
Two watches, same friend. But I will post only one of the two.
I was burglarized in January 2011 and I lost 22 watches. among them a superb Lecoultre Deep Sea Alarm, the vintage, the original. Well, some yeas ago, I had one, which was in less good condition than that one. I bought it, my first DSA US, from a well kno...
