Long time lurker - new addition to the collection!
Been lurking on the forum for quite some time, always been fascinated by the knowledge and information on here.

By chance during my travels I managed to get my hands on a BLNR (for the wife!), our watches shown together... I had my name on a few UK AD waiting list, but wasn't keeping any high hopes on getting a call - fortunately found one through another AD during travels (the person who reserved it didn't turn up!)

Congratulations on a very nice watch... Got mine last month and I'm really enjoying it. For the wife eh? Good move, at least you can rotate.

Congratulations to your wife on a wonderful BLNR! The ladies love the sports models too! Nice 16610LV (aka Kermit) as well, which makes for a nice duo. May you both wear them in good health. Cheers!

I'll try again when I get a chance. The problem is I took the photos with my phone but the upload facility only allows 1500x1500 photos, and I don't know how to crop photos to that size without affecting quality!

something to learn I guess
