To everyone thank you again. I will respond to all of your individual comments as soon as I have access to my computer it's a bit tough to do multiple quotes on Tapatalk

But mike just to answer your Q real quick I am not sure if greg still has his for sale.
I decided I wanted to go with a brand new one from my AD :)
Thanks for the kind words mike it still feels surreal to have it on my wrist

Alan

The case diameter is 40mm. IT could certainly fit a smaller wrist than mine. Take my advice Alan run for the hills because once you get a Patek everything else doesnt seem quite as good
