Surprise from AD on my birthday

Never considered this particular reference, but when my AD texted it was available, who was I to say no?

This is a surprising little gem, giving the functionality of a GMT and a 42mm presence, with less weight than a GMTII or a Submariner.

The white with orange makes for a different color palette in a sea of black face watches.

Nice little birthday score!

Wow! I was at my local AD last week and mentioned my birthday was coming up. Her eyes just glazed over.

I’ve only recently considered adding one to my collection, it would definitely be the polar. That’s a nice pick up. Congrats and happy birthday!
