    my AD called me this morning to let me know that my (seriously) delayed vintage case is to arrive before the 9th of december.
    originally i had requested 101/140 to be told that it had gone and i could have 099/140. i took this offer but today was told it would be well into next year before that case was ready so i have plumped for 056 because i just can't wait any longer!
    it must be logistically hard work to sort out each case and work it into the watchmaking workflow so i do understand why it's taking so long, but that doesn't help me sleep at night.

    If not in your possession already

    You truly need first class photo equipment to take pictures that match the quality of these watches: noblesse oblige. I am quite happy for you; I almost can imagine your excitement.

    Kind regards,
    Paul, wearing Portuguese Perpetual Calendar

    All of us anxiously await the arrival

    of this fantastic set so we can see photos. When you post pictures, I can predict you will have the Post of the Week.

    Congratulations,

    Sharing your excitement of T-13 days

    will be exciting indeed. It has been a long wait for you and for a set to be found in Scotland will be also unique I presume ?

    Why not leave them in Schaffhausen and I can pick them up for you.......I promise to bring them to you (before Hogmany).....LOL

    More seriously - I hope that time flies until the 9th December.
