4) My preferred breast size and could be an issue for case back :-)

I'll stay with my 'non-super exclusive' RM's
Paul your RM's are quite exclusive, I was talking about a 035, the first model that I found at 69K, between this and a Vouti no contest for me, your RM's are not the same, plus you don5habe only one, this is going to be the only watch I will ever get at those price levels, ok a few years ago I thought I would never ever buy a watch worth more than 10K...
You are right about your analysis on Voutilainen pieces, I agree totally, had the same analysis but decided to go through with it, it will be one more thing that we can't sell, already have a few of those...

Lol, now you got it, also going to a sport club like this one, amongst many other things, made that in all the places I went to and lived, there's been quite a few, this is clearly the place made for me, but just Odessa, not the rest of Ukraine

Tex needs the comfort of the crowd. He likes going to the grocery store or movie theater and seeing 2-3 other people wearing Milles, so he knows he's in good company.

Putin knocked the building down. Now it's sideways. Lapince is buying it cheap, flipping it - literally - then reselling for a huge profit.

I have no doubt about that, but at least a shot of P's 'lady companions' in the pool before leveling it. Geesssshhh.

Hahaha believe me the owners have bo intention of selling it, it's 200 meters from the opera, so ideal location, and they invested a fortune to male it like this, and this is just the pool, there are tons of other things

Hahaha, well there was a time that a french marquis was much more enviable than a tsar, but that was a long time ago, and I am not a marquis, my grandpa was, me no...

No there was only one delay, the one today, and yea it was very frustrating, thinking I would have it at dinner time but not will be tomorrow, so basically 16 hour delay, there's worse things in life, but if he can't be here tomorrow then that would get me crazy, would have to change flights and go to Davos to get it, but I am sure he'll be here, he's coming over to the house, so basically I wake up, and maybe 30-60 minutes later he'll be here to size it for me, with a PP present for the hassle yesterday

Pics of everything please...you have had this one incoming for a long time, so let's make it worth it.

We are excited so time to step up incoming threads...good practice for Vout.

Zurich pics too too when you get back to Odessa and can upload.

Good stuff

Didn't take any of the city, but did of the Breguet museum, if we go in the city tonirrow will take a few, but I take pics when something sings to me, we didn't go in the historical cemter as it was raining and we didn't have umbrellas or hats, not sure we are going there tomorrow though would like to see it. We saw a few lovely Breguet, the quality and finishing is really up there, top notch for sure

No excuses.

You have time tomorrow...take us on a journey Lapince. See what Karl did, do something like that. You have plenty of time tomorrow.

Meeting, opening box for first time, etc, etc...you've seen a 100 incoming threads here, you know what to do.

Bring it, 4 month incoming, show us it was worth it.

Can't wait!

I think taking pictures of things you experience is distracting from the actual experience itself, and somehow dilutes the memories afterwards. All the more so if you are trying to compose a photo essay. Better to experience things unencumbered by a camera.

Well, most would disagree here--including Lapince who consistently tell people to post pics.

I'd like to see a great incoming from Lapince.

90% of the people do it here and after 4+ months, I think we all deserve it.

This is a forum, we love pics.

Lapince can't wait.

These aren't trade secrets, it's an Aquanaut incoming he's talked about for 4 months??

I'm sure if anyone talks about something that long in advance, they will be happy to take a bunch of pics to take us on a WATCH forum on a journey. This is what get's people happy here. Why are we arguing if pics of a watch incoming on a WATCH forum is a bad thing??

Zurich also Lapince, we all love living vicariously through you (that's why TRF is great--people get to see all parts of the world). I'm stuck in Austin, Texas and always appreciate seeing other parts of the world.

Fun stuff--this is a WATCH forum, pics, incomings, excitement--yeah normal **it last time I checked.

Wtf. Distracting from the experience? Obligated to the forum? The guy (Lapince) has been going on and on about his new watches forever on here and we'd like to see them. It takes less than a minute to take the picture and post it.
