Nanuq Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 It is a purchase of a lifetime! Roger that. After the wee mountain elves finished carving this beastie from a cold block of steel they put down their tools, wiped their hands and stepped back to admire it. "Well that's it," one murmured in awe. "We've achieved perfection. Now we're done." And they went off to open a Land Rover plant, where they carve engine blocks from cold blocks of aluminum to this day.
JoJo35 Posted July 10, 2009 Author Report Posted July 10, 2009 Thank you to all who responded. If it weren't for my friends here at RWG, I never would have learned what I have, and would probably still be wearing canal st reps! To me, this watch is certainly a pinnacle, and the find of a lifetime. The watchmaker at the shop I bought it from was kind enough to remove the caseback while I was there. What I found underneath was jewel-like, and absolutely beautiful. Thanks again to all who wished me well with it. I'm wearing it now, and still can't believe I have such a masterpiece on my wrist
TeeJay Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 What a fantastic piece, congratulations indeed
RWG Technical Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 Fantastic piece, looking forward to seeing it in person. Congrats.
vlydog Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 B, Late to the party, yes I know. ... but wanted to share my enthusiasm and to say congratulations on this a treasure and ultimate score. Like W and S before me, I would love to view this in person at a NYC GTG. Wear it in good health.
Nanuq Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 Of course, now your Explorer I will seem like "oh, that old thing" so you'll be looking for its new home. *cough*
Justasgood Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 Of course, now your Explorer I will seem like "oh, that old thing" so you'll be looking for its new home. *cough* Ditto the '63 5513 PCG....my birthyear ya know......perfect B'day gift......I'm just sayin'
Nanuq Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 Ewwwwwwwwwww, it's a SIXTY-THREE ??? You're kidding, you'd want one of those after all the reports of skipping records, late credit card payments, dog poo on the carpet and stopped up toilets? Everyone knows the '63 is the source of all that calamity. Seriously, you're best to avoid that particular year at all costs. 'Course being the Good Samaritan that I am (cough) I'll be glad to dispose of it for you.
Nanuq Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 Boy I dunno if I'd boast that watch, if I had a guy wearing black fingernail polish holding my umbrella........ Ewwwwwwwwwwww
