There is always one watch that I think of when these threads come around.
Perhaps not as exceptional, or financially upsetting (though, after 8 odd years, almost all are) as many already posted, but I do regret not giving this one enough of a chance.
And then: First reply, first photo...
Pépère. Est-ce vous?
This is the EXACT watch I was thinking about.
@Ludi in a big way I'm hoping you just borrowed this picture as an example and that I can go on believing that Pépère was more sensible than me and has kept hold of it.
Sold from Australia (WUS ad) to
@Foxy100 (and a favourite of his now wife) in England, traded (?) to
@flame before being shipped back to Australia (me). I was in the early stages of collecting and sent it back to England to a friend on another forum for a trial after a fair bit of begging. Unfortunately he immediately found it too small, which had been my original assessment too. Sadly "absence didn't make the heart grow fonder". Well not until it was too late. With the assistance of my friend it was sold to a collector in France as, for whatever strange justification I came up with at the time, this was easier than just having it shipped back to me, or even just a few miles down the road to my Sister for safe keeping.
