·Happy holidays to all.
I wanted to share with the community my latest “lucid” madness:
I traded in a watch to get… the same watch!!!
I didn’t think it would get this far, obviously I was wrong.
Unfortunately this passion pushes us to do wicked and apparently senseless actions (I say “apparently” because if a purchase ultimately provokes emotion it means that there is a sense).
Yes, it is a model that I adore:
The Speed moon phase in white gold 36893000, produced since 1999 for the 30th anniversary of Apollo XI in only 285 pieces.
When I saw the same model for sale, but in new condition, with a recently activated warranty, I couldn’t resist.
The condition of the lugs (without the classic signs caused by the repeated replacement of the strap over time), the holes in the strap, the seal on the case back (which shows that the watch has practically never been opened), the general conditions, the films, the tag, are all rather unequivocal clues:
It is almost certainly a warehouse stock.
The set is super complete (even a plastic bag with the indication of the caliber and the PIC).
Obviously I had to pay a difference (all in all acceptable).
Even though I am aware of the absurdity of the operation, the satisfaction is at the highest levels.
How many of them exist in the world in this state?
Obviously, for the moment, I will limit myself to a "contemplative" use, for the future who knows... I don't know how long I will be able to resist.
