    Today I took a random screen shot of the splash page of the IWC webpage to send to my son so he could see one of my posts made Post of the Week. I am always honored to have one of my posts selected by MF.

    As you can see my random screen save, which I did not look at until later, had the PPC I spoke about in my post as part of the splash page at the time. How freaky and perhaps a portent that I really have to have this beautiful IWC in my collection.

    You have to surrender without resistance.

    And it will be painless.

    Urgent care needed!

    Bill, your taking any excuse to link yourself to this blue watch.

    Buy it before you force us to see other demonstrations of this desperate "peering signs" of yours :)

    I strongly support a quick resolution to this dilemma for your health and for the sake of the forum :)

    roberto

    p.s. please, keep my words in the friendlier way, I'm just trying to make you smile :)

    Subliminal influencing?

    Hi Bill,

    I think IWC is trying to tell you something :-)

    Kind regards,

    Yes - yes .... Its like a devine intervention...

    And now you need to go down to the AD tomorrow. It's a no brainer - post of the week, and now this "event".

    You should know, that between you and Clemens, and all this " noise" on this particular watch, i buckled to the pressure today and placed my order for it. Long live my love of Blue Dials!

    It's also an example of synchronisity....

    which is the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated occurring together in a meaningful manner. Synchronisity was described by Carl Gustaf Jung, former "director and share-holder" of IWC which makes it even more meaningfull.

    Bottom-line is: get the PPC Bill. You know you want it, we all know you want it and you will not rest before you have it.

    No charge for this consultation :-)

    Regards,

    Norbert

    Washing your hands....

    I was reading an article last week in a newspaper that explained that science has discovered that if you wash your hands after making a decision you are unsure about, it makes you feel better about it, hence the phrase "I'm washing my hands of it".
    bill go and get the watch, today, and then come home and wash your hands. I guarantee yell fell great about it!

    Congratulations Mark!

    Blue is beautiful and for me it's a timeless color. I wish you patience during the wait for your new watch to arrive and keep us posted!

    Kind regards,

    Clemens

    Richard raises an interesting point, but....

    I doubt if either Jim's or my AD would jump at our offer of 2 for the price of one! ..

    Richard, for my part I have come to realize that as my 2 boys grow up (and only the elder one appreciates fine watches) that it's time they now start to buy their own watches (or simply need to wait it out - and I intend fully to make them wait a real long time!)

    Jim, ordering just one now, should IMHO solve your current mental crisis.

    Best regards
    Mark

    The power of the Forum - a reminder to our friends

    at Richemont. This Forum generates sales. It also provides therapy for helpless addicts such as Bill and me. I've just had a fix so I'll spend a few months in the Betty Ford clinic until the urge overtakes me.
