Red 12....second time around

Post by tikkathree »

Back in early 2014 I owned #31 for a brief time: Greg at Wardhoard has provided my first acquisition of 2025 with #37!
Job 1 was to acknowledge delivery and customer satisfaction. Job 2 was to send the watch over the timegrapher (-2/3 secs dial up or down) and Job 3 is to walk the watch past the strap drawer.

Congratulations Pete :clap:
A great addition to your collection mate.

We do have very similar tastes for sure.

Seeing your photos, I wonder why I ever sold mine. Great-looking watch.

Thank you @welshlad
Mike France was telling me only the other day, "you forum guys, the way you keep flipping your watches, our early business model factored it in, we knew that where a sensible chap would buy one watch and keep it, you'd end up buying three or four. Good for business Pete."

Or maybe I was dreaming: it was kinda dark at the time? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thank you Fergs. Week 1 truth is that I've been having such a strong and passionate affair with my Twelve X Ti and I'm not getting the same vibes for Red12 (ooh! Two watches with the number 12 in their name...) I need to spend more time in the strap drawer today. I didn't keep my first Red12 any length of time and I suspect this one will live toward the back of the drawer.
