Incoming... Finally!

As some of you may or may not know, I work part time at an AD, and I've been looking to join the club for a long time, well I'm on the other side of the counter today!

Awesome, congrats!

Wow I can imagine that must be torture working at an AD when you are deciding which watch to buy... you make up your mind and then a new model/colour comes into stock and you have to think about everything all over again!!

You have no idea, you start with one thing, and the budget just keeps going up and up...

Really nice!! Any reasons you wanted to specially go for TT? I see a lot of people preferring SS. Tomorrow I'll be getting mine too! Cheers ! Enjoy it a ton! I can imagine how nice it feels :-)

Good question, I originally contemplated the steel, and it's a stunning watch, but in the end, this sang to me. I like how it's quite a polarising watch, lots of people don't line the TT look, and as such you (or I) see a lot less in the wild. And probably more importantly, this will be the only watch for me for a long time, so it had to be one I look at and think daammnn!

post pics as soon as you get yours, I can't wait to see!
