10,000 miles later....literally!!
Got my d-blue home today!
Flew to Frankfurt and back to get this bad boy! Left yesterday at 6pm, and landed back home again at 2:30pm today. I was there 2.5 hrs and flew back on the same plane I flew there on. I saw it in Frankfurt airport on my way home last week, and decided I'd better go back for it. ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's a Wild ride to pick her up. Congratulations! I'm glad she was still there when you landed.

Couldn't be happier with the watch. I'm amazed at how comfortable the band is. I removed the diver extension and it's perfect now....maybe even a bit more comfy than the Rubber B.

I am just wondering why you just did not have them ship it to you?
Congratulations on the watch by the way. Very beautiful.
