··MWR Tech Support DeptDear everyone,
It’s been a while since I have posted but this one is such a lovely watch and such a lovely story that I’d be remiss not to share it.
Until today this watch belonged to the dealer known on Instagram as @watches_in_amsterdam (his shop is called Vintage Times Amsterdam)—let me call him T.
We had had a couple discussions on IG before. This particular watch showed up on T’s Instagram account, over a year ago.
He had purchased it as a present for a special person who it turns out is not into watches.
Of course I was highly interested, but T loves this watch (quite understandably) and it did not seem he would ever let it go.
Around Thanksgiving, as I was with family appropriately giving thanks, T. sent me a message I did not expect.
Let’s just say he decided the watch did not belong in a safe and should be worn by a true enthusiast who will truly appreciate it.
And let’s just say he was generous and selfless beyond anything I could have imagined on Instagram from someone whose job it is to sell watches.
So the message is, there are good people out there, whose characters and values rise above the wild jungle. As the saying goes: «buy the seller.»
Thanks T. for letting me have this lovely watch.
I did not have time to open it, but here are the shots I was able to take so far.
I will update when I have a chance.
