Wow, that's the deal of the day.

The last $7900 116520 ever to be sold, I reckon.

ok, so here goes....

Part I

i have been a member for only a couple weeks, but everyone has been so nice and helpful, that i decided to share my experience with all of you.

so, i recorded the experience, frame by frame, as i unwrapped the new watch, and will present it in the next few posts.

in other words, you can live my experience as i saw it!!

so first, the box.



now the cover off the box.



opening the box:



more..



the box out of the wrapper....



stay tuned for part II
