Never Thought......

I'd own this grail. Even more surprising is that I have warmed up to not having a date on my wrist. It was an interesting journey to get here. A few months back I flipped my 16613 Black for a PAM 289 but the dark side just was not for me. I sold that to a PAM lover and then low and behold the one and only David SW came through with flying colors and I am so enjoying my latest acquisition since Saturday. Here are some wrist shots of my 116523. The new clasp is just amazing and the white dial I think is a perfect contrast to the hands and subdials. And it is spot on accurate. It is as accurate as my SS Sub C! Moral of the story for me.....be patient and stay tuned to TRF. Thanks for all the great information sharing on TRF. And for indulging me guys!!
