[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Dear Sue,
Good for you! The saga is finally over...
If it is the latest version, I am also a little envious of you as I could
only fondle one a few months ago. Still saving my pennies. Will take a long
time I envisage.
Meantime have to contend with my year old Lux 50 ASPH.
Also happy to hear that your husband has his too.
We can't get insurance over here in Singapore. At least fair claims are
concerned. Maximum value claim able is 5% of market value. The premium is
actually hosted than claims.
Enjoy your new Noctilux.
Regards,
David Ching
