Another Gerald Genta design enters the house
It took a very long wait but it is finally here! In Jan/Feb this year I asked my AD if he could arrange for a 15202ST so I could try it on. Of course, no problem he said. Might take a little bit of time because they did not have one at their store. I told him no problem, it's just for trying on, got enough watches so no hurry. Not thinking it would take 10/11 MONTHS to finally get one over. Talking about delays..... At some point I told him to make an order out of it to speed things up.
Nicolas asked if it didn't increase the pleasure. Well in the end I was happy it was finally there so the answer is yes. It also made a very nice Christmas Present plus it is a very nice watch to own so it was defenitly worth the wait.
Took it for a ride in another 70's mechanical object (1973 Lincoln Mark IV so quite close to the Royal Oak's birthdate). My daily car is more digital than ever (Tesla) so it is nice to drive cars that are not digital every now and then just as it is wearing mechanical watches. And that night I figured the last drink of Christmas Eve should be from the 70's too while I was at it.
All in all a nice day. I wish the PuristS a lovely holiday period and a great 2015! There is still time to acquire something so who knows I go out with a Bang. My bank account however is hoping this is it for 2014...
We will see.
Cheers
Arie

Huge congrats on this beautiful acquisition...
Glad to know it's well worth the long wait :) Enjoy it in the best health!
Congratulations Arie!
Beautiful piece, and well worth the wait. Something that I've secretly put in my wish list as well!
tnx and I can understand you put
it on your wish lost. You really can't go wrong with this one.
Congrats.
Some things are worth waiting for and the 15202 is in on the list IMO. Enjoy the great addition. Best, JerryW
Arie, Bravo, for the post, for the watch, for the style.
You only missed Abba on the Rado, or Boney M, and you were 100 % in! :) No, more seriously, bravo for all. Picking such a Watch deserves a minimum of efforts and attentions. You did it, and ont in a mini way! And huge congratulations. Now you have it, now...
Arie my friend you plan to finish with....
a Dutch Bang? ;) Classic piece congrats and thank you for explaining the vehicle I was just wondering what is the car with such might dashboard Only thing is that I think it would be better to pair it with Macallan from 1972 ;) Happy new year lot of healt...
AP at 6 is my weak point I love it.
One day it will find it\'s way into my collection. Congratulations and bravo on the choice. Regarding the the car I had the pleasure of the Lincoln MK V 1978 Bill Blass edition. I remember paris night life disco at the old lido and cœur samba at 4 am Bill...
every time I drive it it makes me smile
because of the idiocy of it. They called it a land yacht. it's just that. Aim it into a corner or small street and hope for the best :-)
Congrats on the new addition
A definite classic and just in time for the holidays. Congrats, it looks great on your wrist. Regards, ED-209
