A very special addition

• I love watch-stories, the history behind new additions - especially when they deal with mine ;-) so here is another story:

... It was the 1st of september when I found myself driving to the airport ...

My buddy Sasha Monaco and me, Cesus Spitfire, ready for take off to a city trip ...

and what is Hamburg without Arne?
… Arne was so kind to bring me a nice gift, a brand new IWC-cap - two good reasons (Arne and the cap) to visit Hamburg - but I must confess there was also so a third one ...

So here it is ...

curious?
ok - here it is: one good reason out of 100 others ...

(for explanation: … the fever started in Amsterdam, when I had Jarrod´s Cf1 on my wrist (sorry some of you insist on „CFI“) link: Amsterdam

I knew I had to have this one …
and then there were these „coincidences“ - a hint from Thang, an offer to help from Arne and (very) helpful words from Mark L. … and my modest negotiating skills
Anyway - it turned out to be a great GTG

… with prominent environment

And Arne showed us his hometown - harbour tour included

-> Thank you again Arne - it was a fantastic day I´ll never forget!

And now I´m happy like a Schnitzel, like the Viennese would say

• Hope you enjoyed!

Best,

You are a very lucky man CESUS to have the CFI added to your collection. Indeed, Jarrod's CFI is also quite special. It's great that active Forum Members are proud owners of this special Collectors' Forum watch.

Wow - Chris, that is awesome! Congrats on your CF1/CFI.

Fantastic acquisition
Fantastic story
Fantastic friends
Fantastic forum!

Another great example of the outstanding spirit of this forum and its fellow members - and a remarkable 3227 CF1. I hope you enjoy this watch every day as much as you enjoyed the day in Hamburg.

Thank you for taking us with you to this GTG.

PS: Will Sky Dumont sign up on our forum now?

Congrats Christian, the CFI certainly is a special watch and I love your storytelling ;-)

Best,

Bob

Looks wonderful. Hamburg is a beautiful city, and with that kind of great company... :-)
