    A big thank you

    Yes, do set up an appointment to visit IWC-its well worth it.
    As far as the watch goes, the fuzzy picture is actually a desterio scafusia and only 125 pieces were ever made. It consists of 750 parts, 22 complications and 75 jewels. A very rare watch and I was very lucky to see it.
    The shop was on the main street of Zurich and was open. But I was dressed in jeans and a polo. So I wanted too...but I decided not to bother them as the selling price is close to a very nice home.
    The daVinci price, slipped my mind-sorry. I guess I was in a trance. LOL.

    It was great to see you too...

    Thanks for coming out to the hotel for lunch. If you're ever in Florida, perhaps we can meet again.
    All the best.

    That is really Nad...

    It is indeed a shame that we missed each other. Glad to see you had lots of fun at the boutique and Euro cup-the swiss are such great hosts.
    If you're in Florida, shoot me an e-mail-we can get together for lunch or dinner.

    Thanks....

    Clemens for coming out for lunch. It was great to meet you and
    I'll be rooting for the Dutch this weekend. They are carrying it on one
    of the sports channels.
    Thanks for the gift bag.
