What a week...

OK, so I'm going to start this off by saying... what a week!

I got an email on Saturday for something I had been waiting a while for.... the 5711 Blue Dial I had ordered 3 years ago had come in at the Boutique, London!

I was over the moon, and the AMEX gained a few extra points that day.

Get a call last night from my SA (from my usual AD, not where I had bought the PP from)- something has come in that I had been waiting for... something green.....

Pics of second watch to come later, first one collected earlier this week below;

Huge congratulations on the 5711. Pure jealousy over here. It is a great complement to the CHNR and I think an awesome complement to the (I think) LV! Post pictures with the something green when you get a chance, and wear them all in great health!

What a beautiful watch that is! I hope to be able to get one someday. I can’t believe the wait was 3 years!! Crazy …

And that was 3 years ago.

18 months ago they closed the list, no more names as they have demand for the next 10 years...

Wow, I thought getting the 5711 is next to impossible! Must say that you are really, really lucky to get the call! 3 years is not that long, considering I heard crazier waiting time!

Huge congrats to both incomings!

HUGE congrats. Well worth it.

What all else did you acquire in the 3 years of waiting?

Is it possible to be hatefully jealous, and incredibly happy for you at the same time?

Hey guys

Thanks for the kind words!

So some of you guessed it- it was indeed the Hulk.



To be honest, it’s been a pretty good 6 months.

CHNR
BLNR
SD43
5711
Hulk

Guess I’m extremely lucky, but a very happy guy with a big smile on my face!

That’s me done for a while I think!
