Been chatting with Brian for quite some time via email and finally managed to meet up for breakfast. It was a pleasant surprise how close we live from each other and that our two reds were in the same neighborhood

Even more that then the watches themselves I enjoyed meeting and getting to know Brian. We have a lot in common and he is a great gentleman and a new friend, I am thankful to have met him.

Here are some pics, enjoy friends.

Group

Subs

F-serial LV in there :)

REDS

The nicest feet first Red I have ever seen

Chamfers galore!

Thanks guys for looking.

Great story, watches and pictures, guys! Sounds like you had a good time

'The nicest meters first Red I have ever seen'

Feet-first, surely?!

Awesome example.

mjclark32 · 16 October 2012, 01:34 AM

Yes, mine is a FEET first. David knew it wasn't a METERS first, i think it was just a typo. He was excited about the patina, case, the insert color and chamfers! He loved the way it felt on his wrist. And I really liked the additional weight of the DRSD!

Alex,

The Reds were the reason we got together but as you can see, some great other pieces on that table including the LV, it is a "F" serial

Time2time · 16 October 2012, 03:47 AM

Love those Red pics!!

DiamondJack · 16 October 2012, 03:56 AM

Great shots and very handy you two living in the same neighbourhood ..... a small world as they say.......

And I remember that red Brian.....I'm glad I was able to reassure you and persuade you to take the plunge even though it was pretty expensive..... ultimately, there are very few short cuts and in my experience, you always have to pay for real quality..... which is exactly what you have there

.

And David.... That Double Red is a stunner.....pure class.....

BaltimoreBrian · 16 October 2012, 03:57 AM

Before I purchased my red, I had never seen one with my own eyes. And in Saturday got to behold both. The differences in the patina as so cool to see.

DiamondJack,

I don't think you will ever forget me. Your were very patient with all of my questions leading up to finding this piece. And then once delivered and I saw it, NO REGRETS! It is such a great piece. Jed was awesome to work with

bayerische · 16 October 2012, 04:22 AM

Quite the collection you have there guys!

blue lion · 16 October 2012, 04:32 AM

Great collection.

I see the red writing but didn't know they were called a "red". I assume these are rare due to the attention they get in this thread? Thanks.

TSW · 16 October 2012, 04:46 AM
