the language is Thai - Siam in the name should have given it give away. Time to get out and see the world guys :-) VTX

What a lovely watch you have Manuel - i am envious :-) Hopefully I will have one on my wrist soon. As for the post I just wanted confirmation - always better to have verified information than work with assumptions and guesswork - the latter can end up way off the mark. There seems to be some mystique about MBW watches and how only some special collector(s) chosen by God have access to them - I am sure this is not the case. Perhaps I will hop over to Bangkok and have a look for myself. Have been to BKK many times - its a great place (apart from the traffic) and the Thai's (God bless them), like all other Asian's, will rip you off mercilessly, but may be worth a whirl. At the end of the day they want to sell and get your money. I am planning to hop over to Guangzhou this weekend and who knows maybe I will be able to pick up this beauty there. VTX

Thanks for the calming words. I take your point about "dealers" and violating rules etc. I do not want to break the rules of the board and get banned. Unless I totally off the mark I anticipate a fellow collector with T*K in his name may be helpful Like most here I too am an avid "collector" with more than 20 pieces and counting - I am waiting for 3 more to arrive this/next week VTX

thanks for your help. I know MBK is the shopping centre in Bangkok - but I don't live there - So judging from your very helpful reply it would seem that you expect me to do fly there and search for this watch! The word crazy springs to mind. with the greatest of respect may i suggest that in future if you cannot be helpful butt out. VTX

I too would love to get the Patek but the secrecy surrounding where to get it is very frustrating. Can anyone enlighten me and others or should I just give up on owning this beauty? VTX

I simply nip across the border to China -there is a great watch repair guy there just as you cross - he does my repairs. While waiting for the repairs to be finished my wife and I shop for more replica's and other goodies. Few weeks back he repaired my sub - cost US$13 - now works perfectly This post is not intended to make you feel envious - honestly :-) VTX

If you want to enter watch paradise come to Hong Kong - there are simply dozens of stores with the most amazing selection of high end stuff - your wallet will have a heart attack but I guarantee you will not stop drooling VTX

thanks for your great review of your pens and dealers. I too am looking to find good quality replica pens. I plan to hop over to Guanzhou very soon to get some good watches and pens. I will let you know how that goes. I understand that this stuff is much much cheaper there compared to buying on the internet :-) VTX
