Incoming….......An Unexpected Surprise and An Amazing Way to End the Year!

[Eric Chan]

As some of you know, I received a call late last Friday about the arrival of my Submariner Date 116618 LB. Due to prior commitments, I was unable to collect this reference until today. Not a bad wait considering the original estimated time for arrival was late January of 2016.

Words cannot begin to describe the look and feel of this watch. All I know is that I love it and the blue sunburst dial is an absolutely stunning work of art. What needs to be seen and said about this magnificent timepiece has already been shown and documented on the following threads:

Thank you to all TRF members, (Neil, Fred, Ken, Felix, Patrick and Dave and a few others I may have forgotten to mention) who have shared their pictures and experiences with this reference.

So without further adieu, attached below is the customary un-boxing and wrist shot pictures (stickers to come off soon). Enjoy!
