Incoming Holy Grail - this is the big one

After waiting 30 years, I finally got the call from my AD. Whoo-hoo! My holy grail watch has arrived and it looks absolutely amazing. I got really lucky because there was a long waiting list ahead of me but he put me first because I am from New Jersey. The case polishing is superior to a Grand Sieko and the movement would put A. Lange & Söhne to shame. The blue dial is stunning - even better than a Bluesy Sub. I am not sure if I should wear it outside because people will think I am pretentious. Since it is a tool watch I will be using it frequently under water like when I wash my hands. I carefully removed the stickers and tags and put them away for safe keeping as well. I finally have my 'exit' watch.

Case Width: 38 mm | Case Material: Stainless Steel
Crystal/Lens: Acrylic | Dial Color: Blue

Very cool styling on the Q...like a mashup of a GMT and an Oysterquartz.

the commentary did it for me :D hahaha, sadly I did have to get this on my 3rd time and it was preowned. Enjoy it, it's an amazing piece for the price and historical reference.
