(Sorry for any repeat images...I tried but couldn't remove them!) Greetings, Gentlemen...this is my first post: and thank you so much for this fascinating forum! My subject line reads “Possibly my first Vacheron...” simply because I have very recently acq...  

Let the experts weigh in but...

Allen strikes me a genuinely new to watches. With the information I and others gave him he made a particular decision. Were he to come back again with another too good to be true story then I would think differently. That said, all we have done is state t... 

Fair enough Bill...

because you are a gentleman. OTOH, if this "seller" had properly disclosed his intentions we may have been more critical and mentioned the obvious redial, which is not mentioned in his sales listing either. Speaking only for myself, when another collector... 

Good points, Dean.....

I tend focus on the positive and attenuate my language about the negative when commenting about watches here on the forum also , which may lead one to only hear what he wants to hear. ....I haven't forgetten to send you what I promised....I just haven't s... 

No worries Bill...
