First PP

A huge thank you to Ken @HL65, @Benlee for all his fabulous photos, @Snipermaverick, @kittayos and @WhatTheDeuce for all of their advice! Most will not even remember me as I talked to them early in this journey, which started in 2014.
I have been looking for this watch since then but was unable to even see one in person until a month ago when my nearest AD got one in. Tried it on and loved everything about it but was not sure of the thickness. Came back home to mull over it and realized I just LOVE this watch. It was the same time that @yessir69 posted that his AD was losing PP and found out they had this watch in stock.
Long story short, I had them order a deployant clasp and ship it to me and here it is!
For the OCD members out there- yes, I still have not set the moon phase yet, I am sorry!!

A great watch which sat better on my wrist than 5146 and I never struggled with reading the time. Good move on the deployant clasp. .
