SubFrog Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Well, as many of you know, I've been out of commission for a long while now and am very glad to be back in the fold here. My wallet has become too fat and needed a little deflating. SO, I’ve decided to look up my favorite dealer and take that post-Katrina “plunge”, as many call it. I emailed EL about 5 different items that he had to offer and chose the PATEK 5053 – Cream dial. I miss my old Patek, so this will be a nice replacement. http://s39.photobucket.com/albums/e186/300...nt=P2274353.jpg So, just to give you an idea of the kind of dealer EL is; I sent an email today that I will be sending the funds either today or tomorrow. His response was: I’m going out of town, so, I’ll send your item today. Wow, no funds, no nothing…just all around trust and confidence. This, my friends, is a good dealer…that’s why I stick with the best. Now, let’s just hope it gets to the U.S. without too much difficulty. I’m looking forward to this one!

jkerouac Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Congrats, Subfrog. Great news that things are returning to normal. But considering your circumstances, be sure to have it waterproofed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubFrog Posted April 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Thanks All!!! @ jkerouac - Ha Ha...Yea, this time, if I go out of town between June and August, I'm bringing what I have with me. It's not much, but that'll save me from waterproofing everything I own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 That is one exellent looking PP replica watch now I want to buy one too. The exqusite dial is absolutely a piece of horological art. Regards gunnar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
