Incoming: I broke down and ordered one..
After a year of sitting on the side lines, I ordered a watch today from an AD. Nothing over the top, but a nice addition to my current foursome. The AD needed to order it from the manufacturer, so should have it in a week or so...

I'm okay with waiting a day to find out what someone ordered, but a week is pushing it.

It is a practical choice. A factory watch, not high horologerie but beautiful none the less. It was introduced at Baselworld in 2014.

Congrats in advance! I also just came out from a one year abstinence and decided to reward myself with a new watch

Thanks to all for your well wishes. I can't post photos for what I do not have yet other than internet harvested photos. Compared to many of the threads I see around here this is a modest factory piece, but should add a useful function to my current mix of four watches.

No, but thanks. I honestly just revealed what it was in another thread here while congratulating someone on a similar purchase.

Beautiful! Great choice. The best watch ever made. One of my faves. Can you shower with it?
