And without further adieu, I've now got it in my possession!!! Stopped in at the boutique for a beer, an espresso, some chocolate, and a delicious Submarine.

I couldn't agree more, my first impression is it is just beautiful. I find it more comfortable on my wrist than my old 114060. I love the proportions of the 12 series so much better that the rectangular 11 series. Also, the color combination is extremely eye catching. I've turned into quite a sucker for watches that are pretty and have some color to them. This one is high on the colorful scale (which I really like. For me the DJ and SkyD blue was in your face; I just don't feel the same about this. Maybe it's the offsetting gold tone but it works really well for me. Living by the ocean it will get some good use this summer both at home and on my trip to the Keys. Seems like a perfect watch for Florida!
