Its here ...........

I could write war & peace about this journey to get me to this point

Big thanks to all those who answered my questions\ PM'd me when I asked questions especially when it got to year after year ......! Finally to the seller who was patient while I got the funds together.

Without further ado

Box arrives this morning



After all the unpacking





Suppose I'd better take the seamaster off & try it on
