Hello from Dublin

Hi all,

My name's Mark and I'm writing from Dublin.

I'm not yet the owner of a Dornblueth timepiece but one is on its way. I've ordered a 99.1 (1) DR ST with an enamel dial, Quattro-Arret and depolyant buckle. The estimated delivery time is February 2009 and the days are passing very slowly...

In the meantime, my collection consists of an IWC Portuguese 7-day reserve in stainless steel with black face and silver applique numerals and a classic Glycine Lagunare Automatic as a beater.

Well done, Andrea, for creating the forum and giving us all somewhere to share our enthusiasm with like-minded folk - I look forward to participating!

Best,

Mark

Hi Mark and welcome on this forum! As you can see this is not a "massive" forum with tons of user, it's a pretty small group of Dornbluth watches enthusiasts, where everyone can ask,discuss, and post pics...
I have a 99.1 on the way too, estimated delivery the end of November (it's very close!!!!!!!!!). I ordered a 99.1 (2) ER ST with an extra SS bracelet, but in the future I want to add a dial with raised numerals and Quattro Arret feature...
Hope to see you here very frequently!

Welcome Mark! A word of caution: you might want to cancel your order before it's too late. Once you receive your first Dornblüth, you run a great risk of addiction!

I've yet to see one of Dirk's enamel dials on anything other than the CS. Please post photos ASAP.

Cheers!

Correct! I have not still not recived my first Dornbluth and in this days I'm thinking to next one......

Thanks for the welcome, guys!

I'm well aware of the hazards of watch-addiction - thankfully, I have a very vigilant wife and bank manager whose combined efforts keep my spending in check.

That said, I've already got a fair idea of what my second Dornblueth will be

I'm also hoping to organise things so I can travel to the Dornblueth workshop and collect Number 2 in person.

I'll just have to be very, very, very nice to my wife for the next year or so!
