    I bought this a month ago, from a seller in Oklahoma, got it sent to my company's Austin TX office, and have been waiting (in)patiently for someone to be my watch mule, and bring it across the Atlantic to London.

    This morning one of our guys arrived with a bubble wrap envelope filled with sun patinated goodness... pretty sure it was in his carry on, and not stashed anywhere...

    This may be my new favourite watch.

    Nice pick up. It has a great aging to it, will look awesome when you add a new crystal

    Fair point ;)

    I think I may have contracted some sort of addiction.

    I blame you guys.

    The bigger boys made me do it. ::shy::

    I do find though, that the more I buy, the more refined my tastes become - with this on my wrist, I'm thinking that a couple of other pieces will be moving on.

    "I just flew in from Austin Texas, and boy, are my pushers tired!" ::rimshot::

    Looking at these, you'd think they'd be as massively uncomfortable as their massive size...... yet they sit so perfectly balanced on your wrist. Nice pickup! :thumbsup:

    Congrats on your purchase, it looks great! I'd be interested to see what it looks like after the service with the new crystal.
