Look what I was lucky enough to find...
....hmm, what's this:



M series, nice to find, more goodies...



Cloth...



What's in here?



Ah...one of those...



Can it be: wow!



Still stickered up, even!





With bezel unprotected:


How's that for a lucky catch??

That's exactly how I felt a couple of months ago when I found my beloved 16613 Bluesy BNIB M series with plastic

Congrats! I still have one BNIB when I bought it BNIB from an AD back in 2008. It is locked up at the bank's vault.
