12 months... 26 days... 2 hours... 15 minutes... the wait is finally over
All the frustration I felt seeing other incomings has been worth it.

Better late than never...

Here it is.

Faith restored in my AD.

Which atomic clock did you use to time this?

Congrats on a beauty I'm glad your patience paid off.

After the 12 months, it was guesswork... All I know is I called within 30 mins of Basel 2016. Thanks for your well wishes. All the best.

Now that's patience! I wouldn't mind the wait but would never pay over retail. Did they still charge over retail if you don't mind me asking? It does seem to be the norm with this great watch; congrats, no matter the case.

Thank you.
No. UK AD... I paid UK retail price.
Hence the wait.

Well, it reminds me of the FIRST time I quit smoking... My second time quitting, I forced myself to not think about the last cigarette. And I've been free!
