It was IGOTT2 but I had no idea whose the watches were

Dec 20, 2014,21:55 PM
 

my shots on either side of this one were:


DIAGONO X-Pro




Four Killer Watches Here


Paul Gerber Dual Rotor Power Reserve Retro Seconds which was bought by a Purist who is no longer with us



Followed by MYSELF doing I cannot remember what, on a deWitt watch whose identity I have also forgotten. Sigh. But I do still recognize the GS on my wrist!



So Allen (I hope we will meet soon), thank you for allowing me to photograph your fantastic set of watches at the International Gathering 2.





Cheers,

Cazalea

can anyone tell me if they have any value? or maybe to be more in line with the average random first post on PuristSPro, I could say that my grandad passed these watches to me in an old cigar box, and I want to know what the value is and how I can sell th...

...any night of the week! More seriously, it would be a profound coincidence if more than one Purist happened to own this particular set of four watches... Best. G

Sorry, Gary, I don't know Allen and so it wasn't taken there

I am astonished though that they could possibly all belong to one guy. Keep trying, I know somebody must have been with me that day or night Cheers, Cazalea's

"Trust me, if you took that picture, you have met Allen " Let me add: And for sure it was a great pleasure, not only because of the watches. Knowledge, passion ... and gentleman behavior, comes to my mind. Best, Oliver ...

Cazalea, Strictly speaking, only 3 of the watches were mine. It was a pleasure sharing them at IGOTT2. Too bad we weren't able to chat more. Hopefully there will be another international gathering soon! Best, Allen ...

Another excellent souvenir. Time for a third trip in So Cal, but now, I will be careful with the Photographer. :)

A fun evening and some amazing watches, that sphero tourbillon was killer! Good people too, as allways, and a huge bonus to get Vlad out of his Parisian lair.... Cheers, Tim

Mike, I thought that we are friends and in the scheme of things, virtual neighbors. I am distraught that you knew of such a second-hand shop and did not tell me of it. We could share in its riches together. I can keep a secret. Devastated, Mitch

You know that shop in S. Beach, just ask to see "the heritage collection"

 
 By: cazalea : December 21st, 2014-15:25
BTW the place is called Antiques Warehouse, not that "other" shop we frequently visit ... :-) Mike
