Always adore
your reports dear Kong As good as being there :) Thank you again Sincerley Damjan
Decor is ...
must more comfortable and cosy. The special pieces are nice, and those few pieces with blue dials. Thanks for viewing, ID. Kong
Wow ...
I can imagine you had a great time, Kong. Thanks, for sharing with us! Oliver
Wo!
It is good to see some of the novelties in one-go and catch up with some friends who were busy running the event that day. Thanks for viewing, Oliver. Kong
beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing! incredible how dull that
5146 on bracelet looks. Slap it on a strap and it comes to life! PS does Thierry Stern resemble Torsten Fenslau of Culture Beat fame, just a bit??
Somehow ...
for classic design, the look with leather straps always look better than bracelet. Among the 5146 models, you can sense it. Bracelet seems to be preferred by those who are in the tropical climate. About resemblance of human... can't comment, I am not good...
Many thanks Kong...
... for sharing with us this wonderful event. Great event, great new boutique, great dinner, and... great pieces to show! Thanks again, Mike
