Haha. I have decided to let it go.
Title: Re: My horological journey so far
Post by: 1to12 on January 12, 2013, 06:06:07 PM: The Tourbillon is very nice indeed. It's branded under Basilika though (part of Alexander Sharakoff umbrella).

Nice classy Kermit!

Post by: rainmaker81 on April 07, 2013, 12:15:21 PM: Thanks Tyler. Yup, I am looking to add a white/cream/enamel/silver dial to my collection. Found a few that interest me. Have you heard of Archimede Deck Watch: http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/2010/10/3/the-archimede-deck-watch-review-an-introductory-mechanical-w.html

Any good?

Post by: rainmaker81 on April 10, 2013, 08:13:34 AM: Buttock itchy so I ordered a Stowa Marine Original 2 days ago. Website indicates that it will take at least 3 months before the watch will be ready for delivery.

Post by: rainmaker81 on December 25, 2013, 06:28:07 PM: Brand: Hublot Classic Automatic
Case: Red Gold
Case Diameter: 41 mm

Just traded my PAM111 with this beauty. The thing is, it's still in its plastic wrapper and I'm undecided whether to put it on or sell/trade it with a grail I've been looking for a while - RO 15300. Make no mistake, it looks absolutely stunning - having some resemblance to PP Nautilus and AP RO - and the case size fits most Asian wrists, including mine. I'm just worried that I will not have funds when a RO 15300 comes along. Dilemma dilemma

Pics below are taken from the net as the watch is still in its wrapper:

Post by: rainmaker81 on February 22, 2014, 12:42:52 PM: @Maximillian, the RG hublot is actually quite subtle. Anyway, I sold it to someone who appreciates the watch more than me and found this baby after months of hunting. The wait is well worth it :)
