Casually walked into an AD not expecting to buy anything but left with this. Pictures do not do it justice. I'm loving the Black Bay!

I'll probably put it on a strap at some point. Just saving my pennies for a possible PAM 111 for now. I'm done after that for a long while though...I swear!

I know, I know...it's a sickness. I got a decent deal on this so I couldn't pass it up. The few AD's I called wouldn't discount but they gave me a couple of hundred off the price so I jumped on it. Their display was missing quite a few watches too.

Thanks David! There case was missing quite a few. They sold their last Black Bay to me and had only one Pelagos left. There were at least 3 Heritage's still there if I recall. Their case was full when I was there last week.

I predict that this will be the norm here in the states with brisk sales. Congratulations
