INCOMING Day Date Pyramid Dial

I did it. I've been talking about it on the forum and asking questions the past couple weeks and you guys provided some great insight so I really appreciate everyones help.

I drove up to Dallas today and collected my 118238 with pyramid dial. I could not be happier. I was nervous the whole drive up thinking of all of the bad scenarios that could occur when I first look at the watch in person. The second I saw it I was stress free. Thank you to Wingate Quality Watches in Dallas for sourcing this watch for me THE DAY AFTER I CALLED. I called last Thursday evening asking if he could help me find one, and I got a call next morning saying he's got it for me.

Here she is!

JG - I enjoyed reading your posts in your journey to acquire this watch. Such a unique piece you don’t see the pyramid dials often.
