Earlier in the year I scored a Bluesy to join my Slate YM and Rootbeer.

When I collected it I asked my AD about the odds of getting a full PM watch. He said that'd be a chat for the future but asked what I was keen on. I highlighted the rose gold olive dialled Day Date as something I liked. That was the sum of the chat.

I'd planned to go for a beer with him in a few months time, but I'd say within a month of our initial cursory chat he called and said "your Day Date is here, d'you still want it".

The timing was awful, the fiancé was a tad grumpy, but actually quite understanding after a few days, and I was broke.

Anyway I paid a deposit and have been drip feeding $$$ ever since.

I had to plan a trip to get the purchase duty free, so long story short I flew to Sydney at 6am yesterday, collected the watch at the airport, spent the day walking around Sydney - effing cool place - and enjoyed a few pre-lunch beers in a bar overlooking the harbour bridge, before having a seriously good lunch. and then flying home to NZ at 6pm.

Cool watch. quite pink. which I love.

What am I wearing today? Why my Linde Werdelin of course.

WOW, fantastic collection.
I have such great memories from Sidney, particularly the place where you take the pics, THE ROCKS ROCKS.
Did you buy it at AD in Sidney Airport? Fantastic people there, they took care of me super well always.
And I love the way of exposing your watches, congratulations mate!

It was down by the Rocks where I had lunch. The purchase was via AD in NZ. Top bloke.

Its epic. I'm actually from Hertfordshire and do miss Blighty, but NZ and Au are great, been here 20 years now. Love it.
