My story from Omega to Rolex is as follows....nothing too adventurous but it proves how customer service is essential.
I was looking at the Omega James Bond Spectre model before it even came out, I called multiple dealers until I decided to go with one, their promise was that 99.9% chance that I'll obtain one, they had 5 on order and I was number 2 on the list. So I waite...
Interesting how life plays with us like that.
I was expecting another Omega delivery story. But a great twist at the end led you to a path you never imagined.
Everything happens for a reason.
Excellent choice much much better if you ask me. Cheers D
Great story and great outcome
I think I heard similar Omega stories before, but the Daytona is a clear winner.
First of all cool theme bro
When thinking about your theme I realized that all stories connected to watches are happy stories for me. So I'll stick here with best and last GTG. Best stories are connected to friendship for me and GTGs are just place for it. And in more than 10 years ...
Always great to break out some great memories.
And the Tony... well, what else needs to be said?
All good things cames in threes :)))
My only hope is that among four watches one you don't wanna mention is not Tony
oi!
Haarlem is an innocent 😇 beautiful elegant little city. The darkness must have come from its visitors 😜
I posit it’s definitely from inhabitants.
Most of us arrived whole and left with some sort of emptiness, physical or mental.
Hello my dear friend D!! Yes, these memorable stories are happy stories indeed and they add to the enjoyment of each piece, like the great examples you share with us...
... and that we enjoy viewing here (even if braking the rules! Lol!) These stories always come to our minds and hearts every time we wear them and bring a lot of joy! Hagwe my dear friend!! Abel
How very true dear Abel
Wearing a nice watch is gift of life per se but when that watch has also deeper meaning... meaning of friendship or love then there is not much more to ask for. Have a great one and best to family. Cheers D
Unfortunately I don't have any dramatic watch stories, so let me just tell a quick tale of sheer luck. In summer 2017, I was window shopping at an Italian AD I'd never visited before...
So as I often do, I decided to enter, say hi, and just have a quick chat. They are one of the main ADs in the country, so without carrying much hope, I concluded by asking for the newly-released 5131P. She obviously mentioned a long waiting list and so fo...
No need to be dramatic to be a good story dear Fab!! And the story behind your breathtaking WT Patek is a great story indeed! How nice of this AD to come to help you...
... to reach your dreams!! Superb piece which I wish you will keep enjoying so much and in the best of good health! Hagwe! Abel
Most interesting acquisition story? Probably . . .
. . . this one. On account of . . . [Worshipful Leo Anderson, right] . . . the previous owner. Who I met . . . once. ;-) ...
Having a chance meeting with a stranger . . .
. . . and then owning his watch a quarter-century later has got to be one of the more interesting acquisition stories ever. Hope all's well, Abel! Art
The moment I realized I'd met the original owner . . .
. . . was surreal, and burned in my memory. Can't get over the feeling that particular watch was destined to end up in my possession. Art
Straight up the best acquisition in my life
The following is a [somewhat] true story. It’s set at the Baccarat table at the Wynn Encore Tower in Vegas sometime in late 2014. I’m having a particularly good night and lady luck is smiling on me. I had pretty much cleared out the table and was getting ...
I refer you to this earlier post
The answer is whisky. Preferably Japanese and at least 18 years old. But - just for you D - Grappa can also be substituted. NickO ...
Well, many stories...
But let's select one: my very first Black dial Memovox - Master Compressor Memovox! By chance I stopped by my local AD and had a look... They just received the Jaeger -LeCoultre Master Compressor Memovox! Baam! Yes, I wanted it, I had to have it! But when...
I just love inspecting watches with you specially in AD and boutique
Yes we get banned but it's worth it. LOL!!! And that second picture is winner...an absolute winner. Cheers D
It's a lot of fun!
Problem is if they recognize you next time you go back...! Best Blomman
