    I was lucky enough to acquire this yesterday and I'm so happy!
    It's a grail and I'm over the moon with it, just want to share with some fellow WIS.

    Great example, what's your story on stalking and bagging this Big Game?

    Patience, luck and a friend that knew I was dying for it. He went big on a PP recently so decided it was up for grabs, I got the first call and agreement was made :)

    Looks like a great pickup, congrats. As stated above look to clean up the crystal and you'll have a cracker there.

    Friends and first calls are the foundation upon which we stand to get the good ones. Get it all dolled up and post some pix when you can.

    I am absolutely loving it! I am on the fence about having the crystal polished as I really like to preserve the natural state...
    One question I am going back and forth on is whom to employ for the service of it? This watch is special to me and I think my local guy could do it, but I don't mind paying more to get this in front of a specialist, any recommendations are appreciated!
