Collector Description
The Opaline Tudor was purchased over the summer as a celebratory piece, the BB 39 the end of the year around the holidays to satisfy my desire for a jubilee and when I made that purchase I put my name down for a No-Date Sub expecting possibly a year or more to pass before hearing back. Wound up getting “The Call” for a Bluesy from that AD on Thursday and I think you can stick a fork in me, ☠️ I’m done for a while!
While I’ve always aspired to have a “grown up watch” when I was younger, the fact that I have been able to curate this collection of higher end pieces is astounding.
