I succumbed to its beauty!

I was defenseless. There was nothing I could do, no way to resist the beautiful bracelet, the polished surfaces playing with the brushed. The amazing dial changing shades. Resistance was futile.

Here is the 5711/1R I purchased today. I promised I was not buying anything today and failed.

I am now a happy member of the club.

I tried one on a month ago and it took my breath away even though I wear the steel version several days each week. Something about that R. Well done!

Thanks so much everyone. The watch is so much more than I ever expected. It has such a great look and feel. Of course, all of you who have this already were great encouragement!

Too funny. I was there at 12:30. I had to buy my much better half a set of stackable rings so we were there for awhile.

Thank you Clark!
