: What a lovely find! Whereabouts in Paris was this store?

Iwong,

I have been contemplating how to respond or whether to respond to this post. Anyway, I just got to Atlanta from Paris and while I am sitting in the airport waiting, I have decided to respond.

I will help almost anybody with watch knowledge. I will post pictures. I will give out serial numbers. I will contribute to the knowledge base in almost anyway I can. The one thing I can think of right now that I will not share is my sources. The hunt for watches is a competition. I work hard at it and I don't like to lose. I know some people who won't even contribute to the knowledge base because they are so competitive. That's not me but as Paul Gavin said in an earlier response to this thread, I have learned how to look for watches from years of experience. I work hard at it and what I learn is my business...my business in a lot of ways.

Anyway who said it was a "store". There are a lot of watch dealers in Paris and all over the world who don't have stores.

PS: Most watch dealers don't like to keep themselves secret. If I can find them so can anybody else.

Best of luck and I hope I have not offended you or anybody else with my answer.
