We already know there are lots of them in Switzerland :) Anyway, it was a surprise to me to find so many Hermeses as well; I thought Japy and other French makers would be much better represented. <br /><br />@shordzi: Funny you should ask... :) Sorry; I didn't want the sellers to Adwoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457285629002149759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-65632819880542015432011-10-13T19:53:07.230+02:002011-10-13T19:53:07.230+02:00What's the serial numbers for the Hermes?
