Almost more intrigued by Craig beginning his physical morph into being Bill Nighy.

Lol. He looks like he's becoming a Bond villain.

And if that ends up being a regular, non-limited edition Speedy, I want one.

Agreed. I think it looks great, and I'm not a Speedy guy.

New piece came in the mail, really a big fan of the Arnold and Sons line. They're owned by the same company as Angelus which has become a new favorite of mine. This watch has a beautiful dial treatment, a gorgeous display caseback and 8 day hand wound power reserve. The MSRP is around $16k but you can get a great deal on these as I bought this mint '22 for $6k. Wrist shot and marketing pics to see the detail

8 day power reserve is insane. Nice pickup!

Damn that is beautiful and looks a bit like my Glashutte Grail watch.

I had reached out to FTAC about a birthday day date but I think I talked myself out of it. But then my wife talked herself into a Cartier Juste un Clou for her 40th. Turns out they only sell those at Cartier. I had daydreams of spinning that purchase into the relationship with an AD you guys keep talking about.

I have never bought expensive jewelry. Any tips?

Asked nicely and got to try on this guy today, unfortunately I couldn't leave the boutique with it and it's a 6-7 year waitlist.

37mm?

Secondary is around retail and tax. lol at 7 year wait

Yeah, 37mm but it wears significantly bigger than that. The bracelet isn't clasped in my pic so it's not wearing properly.

For whatever reason Vacheron has never appreciated like Patek or AP, but I personally like their stuff more than AP and as much or more in some cases than Patek.

No doubt. Vacheron one of the best brands out there. I wasn't taking a shot at you. Just clarifying the model and calling out the fact that some people will tell you anything to create fomo.

No worries at all. They weren't trying to sell me on that piece, and as much as I like it I don't actually want to own one. If I did I would buy the original 70s vintage model.

I did however get on the allocation list for an overseas dual time in that oh so beautiful Vacheron blue.

Awesome piece. If interested, I can get to you for less than retail and tax. Very little wait.

Thanks for the offer but I want to buy this one through the boutique.

What kind of magic can you work on watches like the Cartier Santos, Reverso, or Calatrava?

Got a deal here ags.

$14300. Literally $1k over retail and tax with no wait. Sold to me as new by my client but the AD scratched it in a couple places when sizing. Client told me he put it in safe after buying in May 2023 and never wore. I believe him but I don't consider new new because of the scratches

Look up comps. If you can find it cheaper (comparable) let me know.

This is such a cool looking watch in person. Pics don't do it justice.

My brother is asking if that is the 40mm and not the 37mm. Pretty sure it is the 40 but just making sure...

Yes this is the 40mm reference 126622
