Icon20 Incoming, The unboxing! (pic heavy)

My birthday present to myself has finally turned up after waiting nearly a month for a brand new one to arrive although I got it for a very good price so was prepared to wait. Originally tried on back in July and decided to pull the trigger a few weeks later. Love the over-the-top packaging it comes in, makes it feel even more special opening it all up to reveal the watch

Congratulations - Lovely. I have the same set as well and I love it. Buying the Speedy Pro is one of the best watch buying experiences in the world at the moment. Not only do you get a brand new vintage watch with hesalite crystal but an extravagant case and goodies as well. Only problem is where to store that huge box !!

Enjoy in good health! That package is awesome! Not sure where I would keep it either but it's super cool nonetheless.

It does look like the rear end of a TR doesn't it, but it's not, it's a 348TB
