The Handover Ceremony

On a bright and sunny Sydney Sunday afternoon, Vikki and I went to visit our friends Mark and Amanda, to officially hand over the Pre V 201/A Panerai to it's new owner. We had a great afternoon with them and enjoyed some wine, beers, good nibbles, and good conversation.

Then it was down to business, here are photos taken by Amanda and Mark of the handover.

What all the fuss is about

Where's My ROO?

Well you turn your back for a minute and things disappear!! Was having a play with the watches tonight and then the AP went missing. Ah Ha! But someone wass being a bit coy tonight...why is Vikki hiding her left wrist? AHHHHH that's where it is...







So should I let Vikki borrow it once in a while or should I make sure my watches are under lock and key? I have noticed her also itching to try on my PP Annular and my Daytona. Might be a good idea to keep an eye on her....LOL

My Love Of Complications Started With....

My love affair with the ‘Master of Complications” started close to 2 years ago. Up to that point I was very much a watch virgin being fascinated by the marketing genius and attractive pricing of Tag Heuer and the movement quality of Jaeger Le Coultre.

This was until I walked into the only Sydney AD that stocks Franck Muller. I was mesmerised by the sheer beauty of this chrono. The blue dial with the contrasting stainless steel case just wove its magic on my senses.

Luckily I still had enough sense left to drive a hard bargain and got the watch at a great price. The only proviso was that I had to pay cash and it had to go into some magazine photoshoots (i.e. LUXE and GQ).

WOW!!!! I just bought a supermodel!

And a few more:







To me Franck Muller will always remain one of the first independent renegades that makes some truly fascinating pieces.

Thanks for having a look!!
