incoming - jumbo's new blue friend

i had been coveting this for some time now, and lucky enough to land a pre-owned one.
photos of the blue dial have kept me mesmerized in suspense. and now, seeing it in person, it's a totally different excitement.
i have to spend some time viewing it more meticulously, but wanted to share the incoming with the rest of the community.

immediate reaction is that the sheer feel/weight of it in my hand is extremely impressive. there's a fit-n-finish feel that is immediate and intense.

coincidental, yet fitting, that i had the jumbo today....thus why i posted in this forum.
it's a blue day

(apologies for glare of the crystal in the photo...difficult to capture with office window...and doesn't do justice how sensational the blue dial is)

Amazing, congratulations! It's a wonderful companion to the 15202!

I too, have a CB coming in. Put down my deposit at the Geneva boutique last month and I should have it in my hands February or March. I can't wait!

curious to see if the jumbo and now the cb will ever reach the kind of valuation levels achieved by the 5712.
my suspicion is that it's more possible for the cb (especially when, sorry to say this, when the man himself is no longer with us), and less so for the jumbo.
recent prices for that nautilus are mind boggling.

It was the last one i acquired, I found bracelet not as comfortable as Nautilius and also i thought in my collection 5712 and CB has a better place.
