A Friendly Warning

[color=#333333]After extensive research, I have uncovered what I believe to be the equivalent of chemical warfare quietly taking place inside the NYC Boutique. Every year after my annual visit, a box shows up at my home two days later containing another watch that I don't remember buying, and every year IWC is able to produce a credit card document showing that I indeed made the purchase. My findings are now conclusive that IWC has developed a watch pheromone so powerful that with just one whiff, one becomes helpless:[/color]

[color=#333333][/color]
[color=#333333] I was able to acquire a sample of this substance and test it independently and its effects are terrifying. Just to be careful, I spritzed a small amount in my front yard and within 30 seconds my wife came running out of the house with an IWC catalog screaming, "I found it! I found it! Give me your credit card!"  Just imagine had I been careless and sprayed this stuff in the house!

Listen, all I'm saying is be careful. This stuff is more potent than mating season in a rabbit hutch. Here's what showed up at my house after my visit last month:[/color]

Thanks for letting he warning
Just Beautiful Terry
Well done indeed !!

Very nice Terry. There is no denying there's definitely something in the air at the NYC boutique. Everytime I step in there, I also feel like I have to walk out with something...curiouser and curiouser

Terry... thanks for the warning... and congrats on the beautiful blue big pilot!

Wear it in good health.

HAHAHAHA

Now thats a great story to tell (!)
Loved reading it.
I'll stay away from that parfume (..)
although have still room for an extra AT (or two)
cheers

I suspect other insidious assaults also contributed to your newest BP purchase, but perhaps this one was the most effective!
But it worked, and now you have the most lovely blue dial to gaze at.
Congratulations, Terry.

Sooo... That is the cause.  Thanks for the warning.  I always wondered.  Is there an antidote?

Brilliant post!!
Congratulations on that lovely blue dial, it's beautiful!

Thanks for the warning, I'll have to leave my CC in the hotel room during my next visit!!! hahahaha

Congrats on the BP LPP, even though you have no recollection of ever acquiring this watch :-)

Well that explains it! I'll have to tell my wife, too.

Typical conversation:

Wife: Is that new?
Me: No, honey. I got it a while ago. You just didn't notice.
Wife: The look.

Forwarned is forarmed.  I wil now take the same potion given to us at the Boutique and make sure it is never sprtized when I am having a weak moment.  Congratulations on the Blue beauty.  Wear it in good health. 

Oh wow, that explains a lot ;-)
Congratulations on a beautiful watch, Terry!

We better be warned! I have my two sisters getting a little bit to enthousiastic about watches and now they even started to wear mine! Huge congratulations on your new BP addition to the collection. It's a magnificent watch. Enjoy it in the best of health. 

Wow! Thanks for the warning and huge contrats on that beautiful BP!

Kind regards,

Clemens

This is an important cautionary tale for our time.  I am inoculated in some sense in that I have no ready access to an IWC Boutique.  However, there will be a time when I will visit New York and I think my strategy is to mainatain my current state of reduced finances to make sure nothing untoward (and totally coveted) follows me back to Texas!

LOL, congratulations on that terrific watch Terry!

Kind regards,

Bob
