New addition to the family

Well, it's done, after a lot of head scratching I ended up in London at the weekend, and a long chat with the guy's at David Duggan. Very patient and helpfull, I think at one point we had over 15 very very nice watches on the desk. Was it to be the '70 GMT all original? the early mint SD? or a watch that can be worn without freaking out about the dial getting wet etc etc... well I walked out a bit poorer but with a fantastic Sea Dweller in my pocket.. it joins the 'collection' of ExII, 1975 5513.. will post piccies soon. David Duggan? highly recommended place to go if you want a good watch from a honest and knowledgeable source. And as a small world, I was on the flight back to the far east (where I currently work) and sat next to a guy sporting a very nice patek, which he also picked up at David's shop!
