Proud new LV owner

No, not the ceramic...!

Been toying with a spring/summer purchase for a while now. Was a toss up between an Explorer 2, No Date Sub or Sea Dweller.

Popped down to my local AD (Govbergs at Boyds) in Philly yesterday evening to take a gander as they usually have a pretty decent pre-owned section. Nothing worth batting an eye-lid over. Moved over to the New section. The assistant made it know that they had a pre-owned never worn LV that had just come in. Had never considered the LV mainly because I wanted to keep the final purchase under $4500. Down to the meat - Box, papers, the full kit for an absolute SONG. What's even better, original purchase date was December 09'!

Here's the pretty piece. Club LV feels good!

The LV is growing on me, and now that the new one is coming, I really, really want a 2003 LV.

Enjoy it and wear it well.

Wow that price was a steal! Do you know if they had any others at or near that price? I live just outside Philly and never thought to check the stock in boyds, guess I should have as this is the exact watch I have been looking for.

Beautiful piece. Wear it in good health.

The LV is really growing on me, that Rolex green bezel is nice, it sets the watch off so well.
