Jonathan,
Sorry I haven't had the chance to really send any sort of detailed email to you. Just wanted to express my thanks for the services. I am quite impressed with the fact that you were able to get the watch delivered as quickly as you did to the destination. The watch is as specified. Pretty well next to brand new and unworn condition.
I am quite impressed with the fact that the watch was purchased in 2010 and is in as good of condition as it is. Looks as though the rubber strap was worn more often than the leather but both are in prime condition and I really love that about this watch. I'm assuming that I saved at least $1500 off of the price of the new one which is pretty good considering that these Panerai's really hold their value.
I will try to refrain myself from purchasing a Breitling before next year (hahaha) but that seems to be the next one I have on my list. Either a Evolution Chrono or Navitimer World. Both with stainless bracelets of course and black bezels. I really like the Chrono Blackbird but might be a bit expensive.
After the Breitling, maybe a Bell & Ross. I know, kinda seems like I went backward with the pricing and started from most expensive to least. Anyhow, I will certainly keep you in the loop the next time I am ready to make a purchase. I can't see myself buying from anyone else. The pricing in Canada (especially for Breitlings) is abnormally high and not affordable for most people and any source that George Sosa refers me to (especially for watches since his collection is ridiculous in the best of ways) certainly makes sense to me.
I have a few trips lined up this year that will take me to the U.S. so you never know. You may be hearing form me sooner than later.
Thanks Jonathan.
Paul
