Please share in my joy!

Got this last week. Sized the watch and it's been on the wrist since. The winding is smooth and sweet, as are the chrono pushers. No problem with telling the time, if that means looking at the hour and minute hands. There is no need to tilt the watch whichever way to tell the time. Can't say the same if you wish to admire the tachymeter and the markings on the sub-dials. That is because this beauty reflects light very well. Enough ramblings. Allow me to present my Day:




The polished centre links...you either love it or hate it...as for me, it brings out the blingness of this piece...and it contrasts well with the brushed links flanking it...



The icing on the cake...an almost upright coronet



And finally, the unashamedly wrist shot...



Ohh...the stickers aren't coming out anytime yet



Waddle on
