Hi Everyone,

Some of you know, that I went away with the family over the weekend, but have attempted to check my "regular" emails, but I have been bombarded by so many of you, that I am OVERWHELMED (understatement)!

I have decided to make things easier on myself, as well as for you. I have decided to have my friend, Hamilton, at Crown & Caliber (Thanks Hamilton) manage the sale of my watches. I really was not expecting to have such a response, and it is too overwhelming to deal with selling a collection of this size by myself. I have worked with Hamilton in the past, and he is really a stand up guy and the service at C&C was always amazing.

This will be an even bigger advantage for the potential buyers, because Crown & Caliber will be going through each watch, servicing them, taking high quality photos with all the accessories, and you have the security of making a purchase with a very reputable dealer. The prices will be very fair, since we will work on them together. I will ship these watches out on Monday, and they will start working on them Tuesday. I hope that within the next week or two, they will post them up on their site.

C&C will make a posting here on Chronotrader once they are ready to be listed. Anyone that has sent me an email, I will respond back with the contact info at Crown & Caliber, so you can work with an amazing gal, Chelsea @ C&C.

Thank you again everyone for your interest, and I am confident that this is the best way for everyone to have a chance to make their purchase with the security and guarantee by Crown & Caliber.

I would like to take a moment and thank, Jeff Stein, for his great help and support. This community at Chronocentric (OTD/ChronoTrader), is nothing like I have experienced on any other forum, and Jeff is truly a person that we should all thank sincerely. He could easily try to make a buck on this site, but his passion for vintage pieces, has given us the opportunity to find a place that buying/selling/learning, a truly fun and respectable environment. Thanks again Jeff.

I also want to thank Hamilton @ Crown for willing to manage all of these great pieces and the folks at Hodinkee who have brought on more attention than I was expecting and killing me on emails!!!

Good luck everyone, and enjoy your weekend!

Cheers
Carlo
