It was interesting wearing it at work today.

Work was not great but when I felt bad or tired I looked down at my wrist and thought, “By the power of Le Mans…. I HAVE THE POWER!!!!” and then I went up and got another cup of coffee.

Wow Louis ... that's one hell of a pickup. Congrats!

When the WG version came out, I asked my AD to be put on the list. They laughed and said they only were getting one (1) ever, and it was going to a person involved with professional racing. No way anyone else would be considered, and I was there very first customer with a 9 watch (2 PM) history with them.

I think that's why people have a hard time believing it was a "walk in" (completely out of the blue) purchase.

Oh yes they shouldn’t believe it other than the fact that I did physically walk into the store and purchase it; but I am definitely not a “walk in”.

I would have really liked the WG version but I have to be honest that when they discontinued it and switched to YG I was elated. There’s just something about YG!

Stunning watch! Really happy for you and anyone who manages to get one.

This one you can really see the difference in black between the bezel and the dial.

Thanks everyone.

I’m doing a lot of travel the next few weeks and Le Mans had to go into the vault. It was a sad moment for me.

My wife said it’s ok and Le Mans will be back in a couple weeks but I feel like a part of me is missing.
