Finally......

First of all, thanks a million to all those who replied to my earlier polls with your opinions, really appreciate it. The road has been "long and hard", alot of decision to be made along the way, but finally it is here...
(Pardon my lousy photography skills, or a lack of)

The beautiful box as seen on so many post...


Watch in box...






First wrist shot...




My first day wearing it out...


As you can imagine, i am a very happy man, with a big smile all day long.

Oooooooo. What a stunner. I love that you can wear it down the street and feel like a million bucks (well at least $26.700) and no one knows! Welcome to da club!
