Incoming DD40

I am turning 50 in a couple of months, a good reason to join the Day-Date club. I was considering a rose gold, but at the end decided to go with white as it’ll get a lot more wrist time. It’s absolutely gorgeous in the flesh, here are the first few pics.

The “box and papers bro” comment is a reference to an old TRF thread; it’s a funny read if someone has the link handy?
