Surely you jest, this watch isn't meant to be worn! I've just dumped my Renoir into the trash to make room on the wall to hang it!! Lol.

Have to wait until next week for a wrist shot. I wear one watch a week, changing on Sunday, and this week it's the 5196p's wrist time.... But Sunday I'll be strapping on the 5522.

Chris Christie wore his 5522A to the beach and they closed it for him on arrival.

I heard Kim Il Jung is willing to give up his nuclear arsenal if DJT gets a ref 5522 for him- ( he has contacts at PP- I believe)

Prices are still not approaching the true value which is of course much higher.

At 8:00AM this morning Theresa May announced the pound would be pegged to the 5522A in an effort to bolster the currency.

By 8:01AM the UK had 65 million new declared millionaires in euro terms.

Hot off the press from the New York Times. The FBI has found no Russian collision with the Trump campaign but they have unearthed evidence of collision between the campaign and Theiery Stern to try to get Trump a 5522 prior to anyone else.

The 5522 will make tomorrow Friday so you don't have to wait the extra day.

Congrats in advance.

The nice thing about dealer allocation that with at least 6 watches per AD you know exactly how little your AD thinks of you when you don't get one!!!

Wish that were true my friend. The reality is certain ADs are getting big numbers (wouldn't be surprised if Tiffany NYC gets 30-50) while others are getting 1-2 or 0....

I think there is 60 some odd ADs in the us if I'm not mistaken. Average of 10 per AD. Some may get 15. Others 5. Doubt if anyone is getting 30-50.

If you're so confident, put your money where you mouth is. A TS has had one listed for $60K for a few days and it hasn't sold yet. A golden opportunity according to the 5522A fans!
