    Hi Nad, I think I saw that pic on your facebook feed.

    I've been to London once and loved it. I remember not having much interest in London before I went, but now I'm eager to visit again.

    If you like your mens leather accessories such as wallets, luggage etc and your still there. I heard great things about this store. Alas I found out about it after I visiting... next time.

    Nad,

    A warm welcome to London. I read your comments on my commute home from the City of London this evening.

    By way of an interesting statistic for those world wide forum members, Her Majesty the Queen has in excess of 300 clocks / watches within Buck Palace and employs two full time horologists !!!!!

    Not sure if she has the IWC virus.

    Kindest regards

    Mark

    P.S. no IWC Boutique on this Island, but one is in the initial planning stages within a 14 month time frame.

    With Nad in town it's almost the same as having an IWC boutique.

    Bill, indeed spot on. Us Dutchies agree whole heartily with Nad sporting that Orange dialed BP - on fact, any of us would wear it loudly and proudly too!

    As to Her Majesty's personal opinion of the watch....I guess we shall simply need to wait for Nad's feedback of his meeting with her

    Hi Mark, I signed a deal on Wednesday night and hope that I will be back more often. We'll have to plan an IWC dinner during my next visit, it would be great to meet you!

    Hi Nad, when you go on your vacation travels, are you the type of man to carry another watch or watches in luggage? To mix things up a bit?

    I hope you weren't pointing your camera to the bathroom window. The occupants are very sensitive about photographers. Her Maj used to wear JleC for coronations and things.

    Nad,

    Very happy to arrange a London GTG when you are next over.

    Good to hear you have signed a recent deal - keep those green shoots sprouting for a global recovery.

    Regards
