My New Piece Of Junk

Hello Friends,

Just wanted to share my new piece of junk with everyone (seeing that now we are calling them so). Big thanks goes to Greg aka "Mosco" for setting this up. You are a true gentleman and a man of your word. Also, a big thanks to DavidSW for helping out as well. Enjoy the pics.

Thanks Eric and the rest. I'm loving it too. In fact, I changed what I was wearing to accompany my new junk.

Do it Eddie, you won't regret it. Now having said that, you can't bang it around like a Rolex, but nonetheless it's not designed for that either.

Let me help pull the trigger Tim. Like I said to Eddie, you absolutely won't regret it. However, I've seemed to have raised the bar a little and that's somewhat nerve racking for my bank account.

Looks quite big (and beautiful, of course)! Congratulations Sandro!

It's nice to know you had help from TRF's members as well! It seems like this forum has quite a lot of helpful and nice gentlemen and ladies!

Thanks. I wouldn't buy anywhere else. These guys are "top drawer" as they say in England.

I have the same movement, only in a Ingenieur case - and I absolutely love it. Big ol' gastank, nice ratcheting noise to let you know it's winding, and extremely accurate.

Love the 5001 - congrats! Do you find its too bulky/sits too high on your wrist, or is OK?
