Vacation planned. oh YES!!!!
so I am getting out of here for 1 month of vacation. I leave Kabul on Feb 24th and will spend a few days in Dubai to wash the filfth off.
My wife and I are going to Hong Kong on Feb 27th - March 4th to pick up my new IWC from the flagship store there. I can not wait. From Hong Kong we are going to Bangkok to visit some friends we will be there for about 10 days. We get back to Dubai on March 14th in the morning. AND I do not have to be back to Afghanistan until March 25th SO from the 14th - the 25th we are trying to come up with something to do, These are our choices as of now. Stay in Dubai Stay in Abu Dhabi Fly to London to see family Fly to Houston to see family. While I am in HK I am not sure where we will stay, any ideas or thoughts??? Oh, By the way, I am leaning towards London :) My BNIB V serial SeaDweller 4000 is there.

Sounds like a real nice vacation.
Congrats on your new Sea Dweller, great pickup. Which IWC are you getting if you don't mind me asking?

I am picking up a now discontinued Stainless Steel Ingenieur 3227-01. Outside of my Platty and My (never seen by my eyes) SD 4000, This is my Fav non Rolex. Because of its hard lines I notice the used market 3227's have some wear on them. I found this one brand new, HK IWC store does not ship as it is a mecca for discontinued watches. I only hope I can get out of there with only that 1 watch. My wife will be with me so I am sure she will keep me focused. I also have ordered the Kevlar strap to go with it as well. That strap on that watch is amazing. We have also decided to go to London, My wife has a brand new Nephew to say hello to. And my SD is there, I will post some pics of my new pair ASAP.

I found a photo of the Kevlar strap. This is not mine, found it online. The strap is textured and it matches the texture of the dial on this IWC. It is pretty nice, When I get mine I will take some nice photos to show the features.

My internet service provider over here is getting so slow. It is a satellite shot out of Hong Kong and If I find the office in HK I will go ask for a speed bump.

Twelve / "12" / One-Two
That is how many days I have remaining until I am OUTTA HERE. It has been between 0 and 9 degrees Fahrenheit here in Kabul and we have had about 20 inches of snow in the past 2 weeks. CRAZY for Kabul. I can not wait to get out of here. IWC and Sea Dweller 4000 - HERE I COME!!!!!!!! Anyone in Dubai, Hong Kong, Bangkok, or London? |
