1655 incoming!

Well I just wired the money for my grail watch...a beautiful 1655!
Unfortunately it will be a couple of weeks until I receive it.

I was hoping some members could help me out with photos of theirs in order to help me pass the time and get me ready for it! I'd especially like to see any on different straps.

Thanks...and of course I'll add photos when it arrives!

A fair request...but if I have to wait 2 weeks so do you guys.

A little teaser...but probably not the money shot you were looking for...


And apologies for the rotated photo
