That's a nice piece, if it's the one I'm thinking of. Congrats!

does Steve never sleep?
i have to say he is the most helpful person i have ever bought anything from and its not because he is after the money it goes beyond buyer/seller he is more interested in my happiness than selling me the watch although im a total newbie to vintage i feel secure if that makes sence? i read brother Ochri's post on the gmt dials and that has got me even more intrigued apparently i have the Bart Simpson dial  oh and i blame the TRF for my new addiction i was happy with just 1 watch but then seeing all these beautiful vintage pieces has made me go loco then i wanted a tudor sub then a rolex sub then saw the GMT so do i still want a Tudor sub and Rolex sub (vintage) hell yes!! anyone wanna buy a 42 yr old well used kidney

Steve is a great guy to deal with, personally I have not yet deal but from what I hear from my close friends and from the boards, he's one of the best out there. Great find on the piece, and I know the feeling of having a nice piece in transit, the wait is exhilarating!!
