New watch - "The opening"

Hello everyone! As some of you might have seen, I got a new watch earlier this week from Greg. Here are the pictures from when I opened this beauty.

Enjoy!

Extremely well-packed


Some of the tape and paper gone


The watch must really have enjoy the trip over the Atlantic Ocean


Lots of... things


Almost there now! Continue please!


So what is it?

Thank you so much Schroder! Did you work last Saturday by the way? I was in Stockholm last weekend and I thought about coming in a saying thanks for the cigars!

Congrats on a great watch.
Greg is a heck of a guy, we have spoken a few
times, I have yet to buy from him but I would
not think twice about giving him the good guy
nod.
Hublot is really something to enjoy... Very fun
and unique. Truly a watch lovers watch.

Call me corny, but I love these photo sets that include the "opening." It's akin to watching a video of a kid coming down the steps on Christmas morning. A great feeling we all know and it's fun to share in the excitement. Thanks and enjoy. I'm off to google "Hublot" and learn more about this bad boy...

I love them to, and that is why I want to share the few "openings" I do

Thanks mate
