Yes, it's been 4-5 months.

This is why we are all excited for him Roger.

He's in Zurich picking up tomorrow and excited for him to share his journey.

LOVE TRF incomings

I never intended not to post a few pics, I love to see other guys post so the least I can do is to post as well, a forum is IMO for sharing tour passion with like minded people, I try to hide my watches from people I know, they would think I am nuts, but on TRF no...
Just not sure we will go again to Zurich center tomorrow, it was a pain to go, many roads were blocked, and didn't take pics, in worse case there will be a few interesting lics from Breguet

Lapince, no worries, we know you took plenty of Zurich pics today that you can upload later. We all are very excited for you and look forward to great incoming shots (wherever) in Zurich (I thought that is where you are meeting AD).

Thank you for understanding our enthusiasm for you as that's what this forum is about--or so I thought.

Get a good nights sleep, will be a great day tomorrow.

Lapince, all those roads to Zurich were blocked because they knew you were going to be there with girls and you being such a celebrity with a street in Paris named after your family and all that.

Pics of Zurich....an infinitely more enjoyable city than Geneva I am afraid ....Baur au Lac is a fantastic hotel if you need to camp somewhere. You have the patience of a nun. If it was me I would be on a train to Davos or Motier.

This thread is hysterical! Putting pressure on poor Arnaud. Although I agree with Paul, we've been hearing about this incoming for most of the year. Time to cough up some beautiful pics of this watch and the area you received it in. Should be a great day tomorrow.

Oh believe me I was very disappointed, but knowing it was coming for lunch the next day, with a present to make up for it, I managed not to burst

In 4 hours he'll be here, but when I tried to post pics yesterday I couldn't because of a security token, no clue what that is

I'm confused, I thought you sold the 5726? Also, said you don't own any Rolex? Maybe I need some coffee.

Let's see that beauty outside and a personal favor to see the clasp shot.

The one thing I did like about the Aquanaut is that buckle/clasp. Love to see the RG version with that strap.

Not mine, and I had the 5726 on strap, not bracelet.
Will take a few pics when there will be sun, now there isn't, but do intend on taking better ones when the sun will appear

In any case I won't post an incoming in the PP section, it will be a discreet incoming.
Didn't take pics from Zurich but here are a few from the Breguet museum and of the piece I find amazingly beautiful, the dial is unreadable but the watch is a beauty
