BLACK is BLACK - I've got my baby back!!


Hi guys,

The suspense is finally over. My daughter came in this afternoon (Sunday) from Sydney and got in my TAX FREE 16610 in this little plastic, thermocole insulated and protected box.

Over the moon, guys.............some hurried pics!! I know, I still haven't taken off the stickers!!

















Out of box and smack on the wrist - no adjustments whatsoever!!

Thanks, Neil.......the older D-series goes to my grandson. I just grabbed this one 'cause I'm an opportunist and took advantage of my daughter's going out of the country to get the 12.5% GST off.

Paid an excellent price for it!!

Your new purchase looks great, JJ, BNIB and I know that you'll keep it in pristine condition, as you do the others in your great collection

The older D-series - will you be giving it to him straight away, or passing it on later?

Not sure, let's see. I'm thinking of letting my son-in-law (Ronan's dad) use it for a few years and then he can pass it on to his son.

That's a great idea, JJ :thumbsup and another example of how our prized collections will transcend the decades and ultimately outlive us all

Ronan has a great grandfather (well, not literally!)
