Eric, your taste is second to none. That watch looks spectacular on your wrist. Are you sure we are not related? Our collections are very similar. Wear it in good health, my friend.

Words cannot begin to describe the look and feel of this watch. All I know is that I love it and the blue sunburst dial is an absolutely stunning work of art. What needs to be seen and said about this magnificent timepiece has already been shown and documented on the following threads:

http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=443639 Thanks Fred for creating an actual enabling thread for me. Much appreciated and in all honesty probably pushed me over the edge on this one.

Thank you to all TRF members, (Neil, Fred, Ken, Felix, Patrick and Dave and a few others I may have forgotten to mention) who have shared their pictures and experiences with this reference.

So without further adieu, attached below is the customary un-boxing and wrist shot pictures (stickers to come off soon). Enjoy!
Awesome piece Eric! That's quite a collection you've got going there!!

Happy to help buddy!!! She looks truly stunning on your wrist and so happy the wait is finally over and the enjoyment can now begin. Your collection along with Tom and Neil's, is probably one of the most impressive around. Well done friend!

Enjoy the beauty in good health and best of life!
