Pics of my new piece.

Picked up this the other day. I'm not very fond of white dials.

Enjoy the pics.

This is me slacking off today in my office.



Shot from last night.

Ah okay. I know Alex (aka A.Padivone on panereh) from another forum and he has/had a UN like yours. Since he buys and sells very frequently I just assumed. Nice piece!~

Oh yes Alex, yes I guess I do know an Alex. I never buy anything used, all of my pieces are all "virgins" as they say :)

Very nice George, is that strap as comfortable as it looks to be? I am a fan of that line.

Nice to see a fellow canuck with such an incredible collection. The bezel is very deatiled and stands out beautifully. The white dials on that piece must be pearl the way they pick up and shine the light. I am not a fan of white on white at all... for this piece I would make an exception!
