Something for the wife

No shortage of ideas for myself either. Favorite is 16202BA, but there are some other holes to fill in-between. Might also be good to wait with the next big ask for the 150th anniversary in 2025

Congrats VogelPhoenix! Absolute grail piece!!! I’d have to figure out something similar to a screen time reminder to make sure to occasionally look away.

Would rather not be too specific - I'm sure the place has a number of much bigger spenders that might feel some of our recent allocations should have gone their way.

Is there a usual order to these two allocations, or is it ultimately based on the person’s request?

Does it take a bigger purchase history to obtain the ceramic version or about the same? Thanks.
