A rare & cool spotting with tourbillon AP content

Saw this incredible piece worn by a true gentlemen at a Starbucks in Boston over the weekend, what a beauty! Wow I spotted the watch as we both entered, I immediately knew it was a 44mm but as I got closer I couldn't even believe it. Took the opportunity to compliment the watch to the owner as he told me the story about how the watch was delivered to him in Boston from an AD in St Barts directly in person. He was also a car guys and had a few other APs but we didn't get a chance to go into details....As we were ordering our drinks, without us knowing it, he had already paid for our drinks, pretty cool gesture I had a great talk with him and I will probably never top this spotting! lol

You just saw Roger, and yes, he does have a few other AP, but very modest ones, mostly Platinum, you know that cheap metal

Really? Small world. Great sighting and nice to hear the conversation was more than amicable.

It wasn't me sadly but that is a rare bird only 90 pieces out in the wild. I hope you directed him to this forum!

Love this! Great spot, this is perfect timing after my thread about being approached/approaching people about their watches. Would love to know what your opening sentence was?
