    I have the patience of a statue if it means a watch I want. Ask Steve / cicindela or Desmond / mondodec.

    Add to the list LouS I would except immune is he to the ways of The Force.

    Yeah, it's also missing a couple of screws.

    Auction ended early for that nice 14k Constellation, now I know how it feels being on the other end. :p

    Yes, I could not take any longer and had to sell my 712 Constellation. I felt haunted. On a quiet day I could hear Dennis breathing, he's like Darth Vader I tell you.

    :eek: My buddy Darth understands, look how long it took him to tell Luke, "I'm your father"...so it's gonna be awhile before I even consider succumbing to the Force.:D But if and when I do, Dennis will be the chosen one.:thumbsup:

    I'm sure you will bring balance. My ::love:: of it hasn't tired yet. My watch guy was impressed too. He claims he's not a buyer/collector, but??? He didn't try to buy it, but his eyes did light up...made me smile. Let' the honeymoon continue...:D Play on:thumbsup:

    See, I want my watch repairer to be impressed! I brought in my black waffle and he just said that with these old cases, it will be a while to get the replacement parts :(

    So I'll be without it for a few months, but at least my burnt guilloche should be arriving soon, already serviced :D

    Waiting sucks, but when it's finally back with you, I know the wait will have been worth it. Don't forget to share photos of the burnt guilloche. I know

    According to Australia Post it is on board with driver. But I'm in Sydney so will have the dreaded 'ninja of disappointment' card. But at least that means I should be able tp pick it up on Monday.

    When I'm dictator we'll have a 7 day postal service, and the delivery centers will be open 24 hours a day for late night parcel pickups so you never get stuck on a weekend with a card and no toy again. I'll fund it by canning the car industry support, the cars we make here are crap anyway :p
