New Day Date

Well last month it was a 1655 and now I just picked up this 18038. When I saw the dial I had to have it. Pics in the box were taken by the seller but my wrist shot sucks so I had to add them. My next purchase needs to be a decent camera. LOL! (I DO REALIZE THE BOX IS FAKE) After seeing how Sam unveils a watch I can't even make an attempt because it would be an insult to him.

***For those who think 36mm is too small I respect your opinion, but strongly disagree*** (I do have girly wrists so maybe I'm in the minority)

HAGWE,

Mike G

Bloody lovely ...and know what you mean about the dark dial, plus the strap sets off the whole package perfectly. Congrats

That is a hot day date We need to trade our timepiece short and long list. You have exceptional taste in horology! Kudos to you! I am a sincere fan of that 18038 Mike by the way thanks for your comment ;-)

Your avatar is awesome as well! I could not trust Kingsley with my watches. When I first got him from the breeder 2 years ago this is how he acted around my Panerai. Needless to say, I now have a Ceramic (Scratch Resistant) Radiomir. LOL!
