        some interesting / difficult (up their own arse) type folks on this trip.

        I can only imagine…..

                @mclaincausey It was nice to handle the Grand Master chime and I could appreciate it for its craftsmanship but aesthetically it does not work for me at all.  Some of the pieces like the Grand Master Chime are not really practical useable pieces in my opinion.  I would love to meet the person who could rock a Grand master chime as an every day beater  😉

                One of the other guests on the trip had just ordered the new grey grey dial colour in the rose gold case 5204, perpetual calendar with split second chronograph.  He got to handle this watch in hand for the first time since he had ordered it.  I was watching his face closely at the time, he was quite taken with it.  Thank goodness or it would have been an expensive mistake.

                I was asked for my wish list so have put forward a few pieces I would like in my collection.  Proper wish list stuff but may as well ask for what you previously thought was unobtainable.

                    @ddtrash it sounds like a good trip.

                    As for the "interesting" folks, I'm imagining a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory scenario wher  they're slowly whittled down by health and safety issues in the Patek factory, and Thierry Stern offers the survivors a place on the waiting list for a Nautilus. 😃

                      @Graeme I have indeed requested a Nautilus. At the end of the final day the UK dealership asked for a wish list.
                      However unlike the Dahl book, I was not a sole survivor at the end of the visit so others customers have also asked for a Nautilus too.  My odds of getting offered one after this trip are probably as good as you will ever get though.

                      The visit did remind me of Charlie and the chocolate factory with a bit of Bond Villain and Villain's lair thrown in  for good measure.

                        @ddtrash fingers crossed your name is carved onto the slabs of stone that constitute the Patek waiting list.

                        And also that Wempe invite you on a similar shindig for Lange… 😃

                              @SimonA that FXD is lovely. Always liked the Pelagos blue but it was a bit too bright for my taste. The FXD has nailed it. 👍

                              @Anesthetist thanks for the kind words. I tried to keep it short, quite a tough task considering what was crammed into the two days. My head is still spinning.

                                        I'm absolutely in love with the blue Black Bay 58, and it seems like they're not overly difficult to find right now. My local AD has them in-stock. Is there a Tudor AD wherever you're going in the Caribbean?
