    I hate to pile on here but I feel like everyone should know that I too have been treated with kid gloves by Chris and even though - until yesterday - we had not closed a deal on anything, I've always felt as though Chris would always give me the time and energy to answer any question no matter how mundane, and he has. I mostly lurk on this forum and thoroughly enjoy the banter and eye candy Chris puts up here. But since I'm mostly an Omega guy and buy watches that VTC doesn't sell, I haven't pulled the trigger. But....yesterday I spotted a sweet little vintage ladies gold Roller on his website. I was looking for something for an upcoming anniversary gift for my wife and it seemed to fit the bill. She hates bling but loves quality - this pristine 45 yr old piece is understated and classic. Perfect! I shot off an email to Chris, he gave me a killer deal on the sweet little thing and next thing you know.... hey, I've joined the club! Chris has been totally professional and thoughtful throughout. Man, I'm glad I found this little corner of the FerrariChat website. Who knows, maybe I'll snag one of those new Swiss Army Chronos, or, you never know, maybe another Seamaster or Speedy Pro will pop up....
    Best to all,
    Randy

    Chris comes through again!

    Got the Bulova yesterday and had a few links pulled out of the bracelet today... My wife thinks it might be the prettiest watch from you yet!

    Super fast shipping and GREAT service as usual!

    Chris be sure and think about that 928 watch and how we are going to make that happen buddy! Maybe all black for a nice stealth look...something bigger than 43mm in size! Let me know your thoughts!

    OH, the jeweler who pulled the links on the Bulova REALLY LIKED the Laco! I was wearing the silver, brown strap, non-chrono version...he liked it!

    Best,
    James

    Chris,
    I had a nice complement today about my brown Laco Observers watch. Since the complement was coming from a pretty serious watch collector, it felt pretty good. :)

    Do you have anything sporty that would go with a green GT3 RS?

    Thanks in advance!

    What is the one on the bottom right? What is the difference between them?

    Do you sell Omega? I would like a ballpark price on a broad arrow with leather strap, SS and Gold cronograph.
