      @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.

                    Thanks @Anesthetist @ddtrash

                    The PP tour looks immense, although memories of selling my PP in 2011  ::)  😢

                    @Jestocost great shot on location  😎

                      Lovely! I've been pining for a blue Tudor, and this is a gorgeous example.

                          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?

                              That's an interesting piece actually - more so than previous RM in my opinion.

                                      And even so one of the more attractive RMs I've seen 😃

                                      As tacky as I find RM, I do admire a lot of the technology they incorporate, and this is restrained by their standards (probably because the form factor leaves no choice).

                                      Doesn't hold a candle to Bulgari's Octo Finissimo Ultra IMO.

                                      Think it, be it.

                                          It's not an ugly watch. That date is going to be a lot smaller when the watch is on the wrist. Those date windows where the date is level but off the circumference rely on very small date disks. I had something like that on my Damasko, and the date was basically unusable for me (but then again I am over 50, just…)
