Yesterday I've tried the new '57, racing and professional calibre 3861 but looking at reviews/pictures, I'm more interested in the calibre 321.
Thank you

I registered my interest using the boutiques on line inquiry form in November 2021. I didn’t think much would happen, but a few days later I received a call.

The SA and I really hit it off over the phone and we talked watches for about 15-20 minutes I’d say. He told me at that point it’d mostly likely be 2+ years and I was completely fine with that….

No contact whatsoever until he called me on June 3rd (the same date that Ed White took his famous walk) and sold me the watch over the phone.

No prior history with the store as I live near Toronto and the only boutique in our entire country is located in Vancouver (4200 km away).

I’m over the moon with this reference. The movement is mesmerizing to stare at through the the loupe that comes with it.

Edit: no deposit was required either.
