5522
About 1.5 weeks ago I posted about the possibility that I may get a 5522 if someone did not pick it up. WELL it is OFFICIAL, I just sent the wire today and I am the proud owner of a 5522!!!! I am picking it up on Saturday!!! Will post pics when I do...and for the first time a family shot.
Very excited and feeling blessed |

Wow very lucky of you. Seeing there is high demand for this watch, it's incredible someone who was allocated one didn't pick it up.
PS: Congrats!

Thank you, yes it indeed was pure luck. I called two weeks after the applications were sent in at my AD, they said if they knew I was interested I would have gotten one so they told me if anyone backs out I'm in!! Literally the last piece at the AD, the rest were picked up immediately! |

I talked to balmain recently and he took a trip to Paris. On the way over, the pilot asked him to take the reigns, he flew the 787 over the Atlantic. The Louvre begged him to sign the Mona Lisa with a crayon when he landed.
Champagne was complimentary.

I have an affinity for Pilot style watches, and thought this would be a fun picture, the PP 5522A at 42mm next to my Zenith Aeronof20 at 58mm....

And people thought the 42 mm from patek is too big.

Congrats and wear it in good health.
As a side issue I understand the papers are preprinted with owner details. If the watch is at the AD and was not "picked up" make sure it's your name on the papers and not his |

5522 is an interesting reference
It contains 5 and 2 twice consecutively If you add the numerals you get 14 14 days is 2 weeks If you multiply the numbers you get 100 100 by 2 weeks is 200 weeks or 50 months This is a prophecy that in 4 years time, the BNIB hammer value will exceed 552,200. In addition the world leaders who wear the 5522 will end climate change within this time. Thank you Mr. Stern |
