    I got the impression that Thierry Stern was concerned that Patek would become a one-trick pony if the Nautilus was allowed to dominate its sales, in the same way that Audemars Piguet is just about the Royal Oak these days.

    But I'm not convinced that scrapping your hottest model and replacing it with something that's not as good is a smart commercial move. Then again, he's a billionaire and I'm not, so he must know something, right?

          Beyond excited😎 Had a surprising call last night from the Rolex ad I visited a few weeks ago. They had revived my Sea dweller 43 and it was ready if I was! So I made the trip today to pick it up. Such a great experience that I will always remember. Its very different than my speedy and I feel they are the best of both worlds. Really happy and shocked with how fast it took to come in. Originally she had mentioned it would be mid next year. So less than 3 weeks is pretty sweet. I may or may not have shown interest in gmt too🤣

                  My baby is back...

                  Blancpain, London wanted USD300 to ship it to me. My answer was short and sweet.

                  So, @Danny-RnH very kindly picked it up for me. The new Rivet and Hide, London shop is but a few 100 meters from the Blancpain shop.

                  He shipped it to me in what I can only describe as a very non-watch containing parcel. On that note, Rolex used to lose a lot of watches in transit when the packaging proudly advertised what was within - Yeah, go figure MENSA candidates.....

                  Thank you Danny.
