Possibly the least surprising acquisition posting recently, but definitely one of the nicest!

I love the pumper pushers btw, really think they have more of a vintage look to them than screw-down.

Excellent choice!

Speechless, I really am... all 3 are lovely watches, but it's the 6262 that does it for me

Mr. Highlander, I`m stunned by beauty of your spectacular trio!

The question is...what if THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE?

I`m kidding, HUGE congrats on those beauties!

Congrats on your new acquisition.

I hope that your itch is now well and truly scratched though I can't help but feel that there's always that damn "next grail".

Your 6263 is stunning. Best of the three in my opinion...

...but who's comparing?

Thanks Ronak --it is a nice one. For me the 6241 PN is in a different league though!! Oh is it nice--wearing it now. All 3 are nice though--The 6262 is so rare as it was only made for a year and the subdials turned brown-also quite rare--not too many tropical 6262's out there!! Each has special meaning and different appeal!! Here is a wrist shot of my 6241--just taken--not that good-will redo on weekend!!
