No. I should be the one, as I live in Greece. Paul, your room is ready

Update: The patient was dropped off at the AD for surgery just now. The watchmakers words and I quote:

“What the?… How did you?…. How am I going to?…. Let me ask you one thing, were adult beverages being enjoyed while you were trying to do this?” End quote

The prognosis is yet to be determined.

Update: The surgery was successful! My GMT is back on my wrist and holding fine with the new half link.


I am thinking about going to watchmaking school.

As long as the patient is in recovery and pain free, all is well.

Mine also says hello.
