Got the tags too, you must be so pleased with it!

Does the wife know about your purchase or are you hoping that she won't notice?!
I think he had to buy her one first, to get on the waiting list. Ask for Dee at expensivewatchesofmonaco who will sort you out if you need more information.

Someone at my trading desk has also adopted a position on one of these recently. It was a bit embarrassing when we were all in the first class lounge and we realised we all had the same piece on!

Nice piece. Discrete, effortless. Expect a knowing nod of appreciation by cognoscenti.

They say money talks and wealth whispers.

That masterpiece whispers, very quietly.

OMG. You, Sir, are winning.

Won't be worn much in public for obvious reasons, but must be a great feeling inside knowing you have one of those tucked away in the fireproof safe.

I won't be posting in this thread anyone more.
The envy is palpable, and not something I'd expect from seasoned PH'ers.
It must be the Astin, which accidentally made it into one of my shots.
Very disappointing.

Come back next year, I want to know how the year of watch wearing has treated you!

Also be careful out there; after the watch I believe:

Congratulations, few watches show you’ve made it more than these.

Did you have to buy other watches to get on the waiting list?

I’ve got one with my school crest and moto on the display case back and another piece with my scouts troop colours on it. Both limited editions that you have to be invited to buy by Hugo and chaz at the Henley office.

Very understated but still expensive looking imho.

You never really own these timepieces though, you’re just a custodian for future generations.

Wear it in good health. .
Brilliant, I guffawed.
