Uh oh!!!

Guess what guys......... The wifey and my son just left the AD and you will not believe what we left with You would think that I would have learned by now to NOT bring the wifey to the AD with me but apparently I have not

Anyway we left with two new watches but you are going to have to make some guesses. I will do a reveal later tonight. Let's just put it this way I have banned myself from the AD for the rest of the year and my wife permanently For now anyway

Adam, Adam, Adammm!!

Naughty you!

Congratulations on your two purchases

I don't know what you currently have in your collection, but I do know you have been on about buying something in YG?? My guess is a YG Sub, and maybe something for the wifey??

Stop teasing me

PICSSSSSSS

I'm guessing large here.

How about you bought your wife (because she's been good) a Pearl Master, and because you dropped big coin on that, the manager brings out a SS Daytona, and the rest they say is history

Did I win

Ok....

I have changed my mind, I'm going for "The Smurf"?

I think you have been talking about it in your last post

Adam, I too don't like leaving my AD empty handed. Much more fun when you bring something home.

Can't wait to see the wrist PICs. Congrats.

OK, this is all that I have for now and let me say the Iphone doesnt like this watch, it is so hard to get a decent pic You guys got it, I couldnt resist the urge anymore. In fact the last round of pics showing Stevo's smurf actaully put me over the edge and I knew it was only a matter of time

Let me this say this watch feels AMAZING on your wrist, the perfect balance and the weign is AWESOME Best of all I can wear it anywhere and being WG it doesnt draw too much attention IMO

Thanks TRF for costing me a fortune and a half

As for the wife, I grabbed her a new YM midsize platty, have not gotten any pics yet but I will








Adam

And I just noticed the bezel is off in my first two pics

Dude!!!! Amazing!!!! Congratulations!!!! Will Papa Smurf stay in your collection for the long haul? I have only tried on the smurf, however, in your words how does it compare to the 116718 (GMT-C)? Interested in hearing your thoughts! Congrats again buddy!

Hey Sam I like it more. This only because I like the look of wg rather than the yellow. It seems to fly under the radar if you know what I mean. I would be intereted to know how they compare weight wise...any ideas?

Yes hopefully this will be a keeper
