Beautiful, Jos!! It looks GREAT on your wrist! That last picture made me lust after one!

That is definately a HUNK of steel, and looks great on your wrist (About what it'd look on my small wrists

)

Great purchase!

Karis, you just have to learn from the master himself, JJ:

Jos, congratulations - that's one helluva watch to join the Rolex owner's club with!

Nice work Jost, maybe some pics of that watch at THE beach would be great!!

Jos,

A great looking watch. Congrats. Good pics too. It's good to see a watch on arm with no hairs.

Don't say anything, but I hope JJ is not watching this thread???

I'm sure I could learn a thing or two!

JostheBoss · 11 January 2008, 06:31 AM

Thanks you all for your warm comments!! I'm still in a state of semi-disbelief that I'm actually wearing this watch I've worked towards. A goal achieved is a good feeling indeed

Took it to work today, it's first day in the world! I'm sure you all know the feeling too well..."Watch the wall! Watch the counter! Take it off easy...now stare...staaaaare....then polish!!!"

Been there huh guys!

The watch went unnoticed, as I expected (and would like to keep it!) except for my good friend and colleague who knew I was lusting after one. He was still talking about something arbitrary when he broke off mid sentence and gushed out some unprintables upon seeing it. Poor guy...I tried to fit it on his wrist but the meat slab he passes off as a hand wouldn't even get through the open clasp

The glow of it all wore off when he asked how long the battery lasted!

I had to resist the temptation to educate the laity!

PS. JJ...when do knock off?

Thanks Gang

Beautiful watch Jos, need to do some wrist curls though, it's overlapping on either side

Really great GMT, my next one as well.
