Unusual incoming number 2

Loved the look of these for some time and finally took the plunge. On the wrist it is really stunning particularly the night sky and moon. And yes I know that I haven't worked out how to set the calendar yet!

It is very cool in the flesh. Will do some better photos later this week. Thanks everyone. A nice change from my usual PP/AP and RM fodder!

Another lovely looking pick up, I must admit of know nothing of the brand so I best do a little research.

Oh and good luck fully setting it

Now that was out of the blue--CONGRATS Roger!

Albeit, there is nothing wrong with "RM fodder"

Very nice looking, Roger. I especially like that the PC shows every day and tells you when it's a leap year.
