路路Mrs Nataf's Other SonYou know, once in a while comes a watch you spend and arm and a leg on, and you question your sanity between the buy and the arrival. But once it is in hand, it's not as if it justifies the price...any thought of the price simply vanishes. If Ben Franklin said "the bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten," might we say as corollary "The sting of a high price is obliterated by the sweetness of a beautiful object?"
Onwards to the buy in question.
We're not playing "Wot's in the Box" this time, as followers of the Recommended thread know what I've received. Nevertheless, here's the box in question, rather nice in its own right, and in perfect condition.
It comes with papers and bill of sale from Singapore dated 1956
and even nifty hang tags. Recognize the fish?
The watch is a gold-plated Conquest with a black dial
...a real candidate for the NOS thread
The fish and its echo
As the auctioneer says, "No regrets"
