Happy birthday Dwelly

Ok y'all, listen up. Dwelly is one week and one day old. Side case stickers still in place, cannot bring myself to take them off yet For those anal about time keeping, its running 10 sec fast within a 8 day period.

I have had no remorse going back to an SD. It was the right thing to do for me.

Visited another AD last week, was window gazing and spotted a Gold Sub with serti dial on a guy also looking. Happened to say to the guy nice Sub and that was that, we spent half hour chatting about watches. He even took it off for me to examine. Liked the watch, not to keen on the serti dial.

How about stripping her off, Jon, and make her yours forever (or at least a long time)?
