Oooohhh, very nice - an SRP453. One of the 100 Years Celebration Limited Editions...a "Baby Tuna" or is that "Sardine"...

Is it a J or K?

Some say that there were 1000 made for the US market, so I'm guessing roughly the same number for the Far East, and for not a huge outlay you've got a fairly collectible and rare piece.

Have a pair now, LE Monster as well. I has planned on comparing them and seeing which I liked most but think I'll keep them both, they are quite different from each other.

That Patek is rather lovely.

After a week wearing the big PO I thought this would make a nice change

A rare requirement to wear a suite and tie earlier today, so I dug out the Cartier Tank Francaise. Not fashionable, but a classic in my opinion.

Bought one of these for my other half a couple of weeks ago for her birthday



And treated myself to this, although mine was pre-owned

Well done you. I really like to see a lady wearing a Cartier watch.

Was it a 3-piece suite?
How'd you manage the sofa, or was it the two armchairs that were more problematic?

Bugger off. It was a business lunch and my bank was paying so I might have had a drinky or two.

Stunning. Whats the model number for this?

[marcosgt]

Been wearing my vintage Cosmonaute for the last couple of days.

Pretty sure most will have seen it before, but who cares



Off diving tomorrow, so switching to my Timefactors Dreadnought GMT.



Enjoy your week/weekend all.

If you can spell Francaise correctly, you clearly weren't in an inebriated state at the time of posting......so, about the sofa and chairs – leather presumably?

Oh I was. Pissed as a newt. But I can do French when I am drunk. In fact I become multilingual after a certain point.

This is very strange! The Mrs and I were at a Jewellers Crimble function last night and she spied a pre-owned Cartier Francaise. Looked fantabulous on her wrist and was in absolutely mint condition. They were looking for £2250 for it. Original Box & Papers included. I got them down to £1850 without too much pushing. Didn't buy it as the champagne was kicking in and I've made similar alcohol-fuelled 'mistakes' in the past

Do the collective PH experts think that this might be a good deal at that kind of money?


ETA - it was a 1999 watch. Absolutely mint though.

I bought it on a whim from watches of Switzerland on Regent Street, they filled us with free champagne and made it all a pleasant purchase experience. I paid £2,930 but did get a free umbrella.....

I've seen the small ladies Tank for about £1,100 on TZUK, £1,850 from a dealer sounds ok, assuming you get warranty etc and it was in very decent condition.
