Self-gift my new 5711 blue
After 10hr flight to Ireland for family holiday my first port of call was collecting my new Nautilus - so pleased with it! Also uploaded pic of my birthday cake (glad watch wasn't inside!)

Nice to have that waiting for you, and the few extra euros for a pint assuming you purchased locally too.
