Mr. Ron Stoll, President of Carl F Bucherer North America was in Montreal and we organized a GTG at the local AD, Kaufman de Suisse.
From the left: Me, Moneca Kaufman from the AD, & Ron….
One of the highlights of the evening was this stunning RG Patravi TravelTec GMT, which is a quick-set triple time zone at 46.6mm & 15.5mm high:
This sapphire crystal in the side of the case affords a glimpse at the patent-pending single push-button mechanism, which controls two inner rotating bezels:
Here is the SS version that I really liked!!!!
Side-by-side:

More watches:
Jeff’s Petravi:
Oooops, how did this 5070 get in here??? LOL
Daliel, Marc. Angelo A, Mick in the background, & Ron:
Ron gave us a nice presentation, coving topics ranging from the history of CFB to the QC standards that are practiced in production:
He captivated the crowd, LOL
The only distraction during Ron’s presentation was this ‘little’ thing that was being passed around:
My photos, my fingers, but sadly not my ‘rock’, LOL
Maybe if I offered a ‘cool million’ I could walk out with a new ‘pinkie ring’, what do you think????
Back to the watches:
This AD is the exclusive Patek dealer in Montreal:
The 'trademark' diamond for all PP Platinum cases:
Come on Marc, you really need another watch!!!!!!
Angelo & Angelo, for real:
While we were still at the store I wanted to examine Marc’s 232 next to my 249:

After the AD visit we all went out for a great Szechuan dinner, thank you Ron:
Again, a big
THANK YOU to Ron for taking the time with a few Montreal collectors; to Moneca for opening her doors being the most gracious hostess; and to the guys who are always ready to get together at a moments notice, LOL!!!!!
