In just before the increase.. Today I got a..

Bagged this today just before the UK increase coming in a couple of days. Delighted with it, the blue is just amazing. I've had a good bunch of sports models but only two were brand new - the first one and now this last one. My watch seeking is over, this one im going to keep for good. There is nowhere to go now for me, this is just stunning!

Some pics just as I'm unboxing!
















Thank you for sharing this special moment with me.

Now im off to size it, admire the stickers for a few mins, wind it and set the time!. This one is for keeps!

Thanks for the kind words. I can't stop staring into the blue dial! It presents a different colour in every light. Gorgeous.

Awful choice, seriously..



Just kidding - I've had this watch for the past 3 months now and it's definitely a keeper, 100%. Even when I pan to stay indoors for the entire day, just love wearing this watch and then matching it with clothes etc. No regrets at all
