A rare bird these days...

Hi Tom
Congrats again!! It is beautiful.
Could you please explain what is a "Half-Grail"
I can't figure it out :o)

Tom, wow! A brilliant pick up. Hope to see it and you at the Amsterdam GTG in June.

Fantastic Tom!

Congratulations on this superb mint pick up. Very happy for you.

Awesome Tom!! So happy for you. As Steff has already said, look forward to seeing it, and you, in the flesh in a few weeks time!

Tom, my biggest congratulations. I love it and you deserve it!!!
Enjoy! Hope to see you very soon again.

We will see you at the same time Tilo! Look forward to
it!

Nice nice nice!!

Wear it in good health Tom!

Bob

Thank you everyone for the nice comments. I still can't believe it's mine...just my small purse reminds me now and then that it's for real.

Toda'raba' Yitzhak, yours was the one I admired here in Schaffhausen.
Let me know when you're around, would love to share a drink or two.

[QUOTE="8541"]Tom, Wow!

What a truly magnificent piece, and when I think of it - this piece is simply you! /QUOTE]

Thanks Mark. You mean not easy to "read"? Point taken but spot-on :-)

So there's more out there. One in Singapore...nice one, Francis...

Thanks. Same on my side, the "thinking part" was just formal.

Hi Mark,

a "Half-Grail" is something I want since long, can afford if needs to be but there is no real chance to get it. There are many "Half-Grails". Watchwise I have two now. 3711 and the Régulateur.

The "Grail" is something I want but cannot afford. There are two "Grails",
the Minute Repeater and a certain DB5. I think that's it.

Thanks. Yours was the one I admired in London, even rarer.

We're prepared!!!

Friday night?

Hei Tom,
pleased to hear that my Regulator was putting you on track to get yours...
it's a watch that trains the brain to read the time slightly different...photos of the hands in particular positions are of great fun...
will mail you when go north east...will be great to see us again...perhaps someone else from the Umgebung could join..
ciao,
y
