So I received a little box today...
... and guess what was inside?
Description of pics below: 1. Nestled quite comfortably in its box, along with the solid case back and stylus. 2. A closer look - flawless design, perfect proportions. 3. What about the back? Had the sapphire display back installed at Henri Stern, to observe the lovely and enchanting CH 27-70 movement. 4. Obligatory wrist shot! 5. Final pic - the Rolex 69159 with a mother of pearl dial, all in white gold. Can't very well get a 3970J for myself without getting the wife something, can I? Thanks for all your advice and support along the way, particularly SteelerFan65, FeelingTheBlues, myopiccoog and my "co-3970 hunter" Oryx for offering great tips and helpful encouragement. I didn't think that I'd be getting another piece this soon. Heck, Oryx posted his thread about seeking a perpetual calendar chronograph only eight days ago. But I suppose if you really want it, you gotta have it...

That is one sharp looking watch! I didn't know PP will do customization of watches. How did you work that out?

I love, love, love the 3970, and I was looking specifically for yellow gold so this was simply perfect. |

Wow. Congratulations. Great addition to your collection. It must be fun fun waking up in the morning and having to decide whether to wear the 3940 or the 3970.

Victor, I cannot tell you how much I love this watch! Not only is the movement incredibly stunning but you chose a case metal I particularely like and it fits you very well, many congratulations on that masterpiece as well as the beauty you bought for your wife!
 P.S.: Thank you for the kind words you wrote about me, it's always a pleasure to discuss watches with you and read about your thoughts and purchases.
