Had a really good day yesterday

Ok I admit it, I was pushed over the edge with you guys posting pics of your Tudor Chronos (are you hearing this Dan? ) & I just had to have one.

Royal Mail delivered this yesterday midday, so I wheel spun out of the drive to get to Bexley before they closed so they could check it out, give it the one over & all clear.

The service guy was very complimentary about the watch, gave a little background & registered my ownership on the system.

Really loving it, sorry about the dull pics guys, daylight at a premium today.

Dang! I saw that one on Ebay and was afraid to buy it because it was in HK. I'm glad you got it. Can I offer to trade something for it? I have a 7 year old boy who is very strong. He could do odd jobs for you around the house. Just return him in a few years so I can send him to university.

Can't blame him. Been wearing mine since I've been home and it has a real presence on the wrist. Prices have stabilized somewhat with the downturn in the world economy. If you have the means and the desire, nows the time.
