Watch is fantastic ...congrats

HL65 · 4 June 2011, 12:15 AM

Thanks guys!! Appreciate it. As for thin case- it means what it sounds like. The early cases were not as thick as the later ones- thereby called thin case.

What he means by "thin case" is that the lugs are "thin" and overpolished

Chocolate is a terrible habit! Especially Swiss chocolate!!
