Well my new baby has finally arrived :-)

Hey guys

Thought I'd share my new arrival with you and to also express my huge thanks and appreciation to Al (Alanski) for organising everything. What a great guy, sourced it for me, checked it all out - even hand delivered it to my doorstep

Big thanks also go out to Orchi who's attention to detail is quite frankly unbelievable and a great guy to have in your corner Thanks also to Ralf Eichmann of www.vintage-watches-intenational.com who has also been fantastically helpful even though this was not one of his sales.

Anyway this is my new arrival - a Mark IV Open 6's FF Red from 1970 with box, double punched papers etc etc I even have the original purchase receipt and finance papers. Also has the original crown which you don't see that often these days although changing the date is a little slower . Only addition as far as i can see is a later pearl which I can live with :-)

It came with the original 9315 bracelet with 280 ends but now wearing it on a black Ostrich leather with red stitching and deployant buckle from ABP in Paris which definitely looks the part. Photos to follow
