Wow, the second you talked about Finland I had the image of beautiful blonde girls, what a coincidence right?

I arrived there when I was 30, from 18 to 24 I was in the center of rave parties which were unbelievable, and awesome as most guys were stonned out of their minds and didn't give a rats ass about girls, it was like open bar for guys not stonned out of their minds and who gave a great deal of rats about girls, blessed times.
So there for the first time in my life I went to parties where you sometimes had 5 guys for 60-80 girls, not one overweight, and the ugliest of the bunch was pretty, 2 weeks later I was taking 10 hours a week of private lessons, and at the end of my summer vacation, I was supposed to start working for a pharmaceutical company selling operation block material, great wages and bonuses, but needed to wake up at 4-5 in the morning, often drive 200km to get to my meeting, of course after 1 month reflection I left Paris and never looked back

Lapince there is a feature here called PM. Good place to share your youthful indiscretion details with others.

Then again, some of this explains a lot

Lol, Paul I didn't do drugs, but most people there did, the nightclub scene was dying back then, all people from all sorts of life went there, and when you are in a place where most guys are just dancing like nutcases for hours, that means that any girl you find cute is very happy to see you and talk to you, so the Baltic states were close in a way that the proportions men women were crazy, really, but there no one was on drugs. Also 15 years ago the word French still had a lot of power in those parts of the world

I always knew it, about time the rest of the world started to understand this undeniable fact

Lapince, is there any chance you are really Gerard Depardieu?

[goog53]

This thread is awesome! The beauty of the custom watch is you can have it any way you like. Looking forward to seeing both of your pieces.

Lol, good guess Martin, my cover is blown, crap
I did actually go to his house a few times, his son Guillaume who died, was in my class when I was 17, we became friends, too bad he took a wrong road which brought him pain and suffering, he was a sweet, sensitive and attaching person, his dad was an asshole...

Lapince, you need to travel with your laptop and iPhone--how do you conduct business on the road

Is tonight the 5167 reveal--I recall 29th was dinner night? Are you in Zurich?

[RUK]

Very interesting! Can't wait to see it.

My mistake Lapince.

You change things weekly with your busy business schedule, it's hard to keep up.

I promise to do better...will await Sat.

Lol, there were 10'pics in all, this was just one of them, and the only one which worked. The one on the right has a degree in nuclear physics, she works in a nuclear plant a few hundred kilometers from Odessa, and her sister on the left is studying to be an engineer and does modeling, so moral of the story: beautiful blond girls can do modeling, but not only modeling, and you are right they are only friends

Just wait till you show them the back of your voulti! They won't be just friends for long.

[ash20]

Congrats, Arnaud. Beautiful piece. I thought at one point you said you didn't want/like dress watches.

I need to show it and say "that's my wife"

Thanks man, well for me we are very far from what I consider a real dress watch, it's a very funky dress watch, let's say it's the closest I'll ever get to a dress watch

Enjoy the journey...

Paul, are you thinking of getting a Vouti? Would be great but would imagine them not sporty enough for you.

About the delaysmaybe at the AD they propose you a few models, 2-4, which are ready but on which you can ask some customization, mine is made on order, and basically everything you can add or customize is being done.

So I think from the AD, the 4 months is for ready pieces on which you customize a few things, as well Karl was quoted 12 months, and that was before he decided to add the PR, so I think if you order the watch then it is 12 months, but if you could ask the AD it would be interesting to see what he says, as well if they have ready pieces it would be nice to know which ones

That's why I said my thread could never compete!!! I think Arnaud needs to do a separate thread on the "Girls from Odessa"

No, I'll admire from afar.

Four reasons why I could never do something like this, as fun as it would be:

1) I flip watches too often and never in love too long
2) I don't wear dress watches
3) It's a watch you have to keep forever (probably no secondary market)
4) My preferred breast size and could be an issue for case back :-)

I'll stay with my 'non-super exclusive' RM's

[archer75]

Congrats, Arnaud.
For the caseback, you can consider to apply your initials ie AA and for the number 01/01 or 09/06.

This thread just keeps getting better. Everything is BIGGER in Texas
Now I know why Arnaud was buying up all that property in Odessa if the ladies look like this.

Everything is bigger in Texas, y'all

Arnaud, congrats on the lovely piece. I've enjoyed reading this thread and following along
