A couple years ago I sought to sell two bottles of Paradis Cognac on this board - the non horological dep't, that is... Check out that link.

The cognac didn't sell so I resolved to drink the bottle[s] if a suitable watch came into my hands. I did manage to acquire the Fasoldt illustrated herein ...

...and we drank the Cognac. BOTH bottles....

...and to make things just a bit sweeter, this watch [and papers] was acquired from the grandson of the original owner. A brother of the original owner had the contiguous serial number - now to find that...

A spectacular watch Desmond. And I thought I couldn't afford the Cognac.

Wow Desmond what a great watch it,s a beauty.

I do drink cognac (with some gusto), and even though I'm a Hamilton guy I think that watch is gorgeous. I'll raise a toast to your good fortune later tonight!

An awesome looking watch Desmond! Thanks for sharing your latest find. My toast to you is with a fine cup of Folgers with a little cream and sugar!

Congratulations on a fine looking and magnificent acquisition! What a watch.

I would have to toast such an occasion with something worthwhile, no doubt about it. I generally prefer a good scotch, but I think a fine brandy is also suitable.

(But like Joe said, my toast this morning will be with a good cup of coffee)

Desmond,

Absolutely breathtaking, a consecutive serial numbered pair of these would be so cool I can scarcely imagine it!
