Here are few gentle messages and affirmations for your protective parts:
I see how hard you have been working to survive. You’re doing the best with what you’ve been given. I’d like to offer you some help.
I know you feel very misunderstood, when all you want is for someone to understand. I’d like to understand you and your experience better.
I see how painful it is to be seen as a problem, when you are doing your best to survive. I’d like to see you more clearly and with more compassion.
I appreciate all the ways that you have tried to protect me. Thank you for being here for me.
The work that you do is often unrecognized and underappreciated. I want you to know I see you, and I'm working on understanding you better.
I'm not trying to get rid of you. You're an important part of me. I'd like to invite you to learn new ways of coping with me.
What would you add?
The group of Vacheron Constantin chronographs should not be missed. Lot 7, Lot 8, and Lot 9 are all reference 3307 monopushers with enamel link dials in excellent condition, with provenance, and amazing in the metal. I ran into Christian Selmoni, link Vacheron's Heritage & Style Director, while leaving the preview. He stressed that he has only seen a handful of 3307s in his career let alone three in the same room – his was link giddy.
For me, if you were to encapsulate the hype link watch, it is the Nautilus 5711, Wind says. "That's kind of the best-known example, where you can track a massive increase in value and then a link decrease. At the beginning of the pandemic, they cost around $60,000 full-set, and then they went up to near $200,000 at the beginning of this year, and now they're at maybe the $90,000 range. And everyone's link aware of it. And of course there was the whole thing with the Tiffany-blue example."
But if you take the watch off your wrist and rotate the case along its central axis (a feature introduced in 2021) so that the three-position crown (pushed in, winding, or link setting) goes link from 12 link o'clock to 6 o'clock, you get an entirely different view of De Bethune.
Right up there on the list, rubbing shoulders with some exceedingly refined and rarefied mechanical watches (like, I don't link know, this one) link is an ocean-going titan of the deep known to all and sundry as the Eco-Zilla, but perhaps better link recognized if you are searching for one, as the Citizen Promaster Professional Diver 300M.
If I were nitpicking, I would have to admit that the rabbits' forepaws link could be improved and are, for starters, a bit link short, as if the rabbits nibbled on them. But we will let that link slide. Taken on the whole, these are the most prom-queen rabbits I have ever seen.
