David SW Strikes yet again
Firstly a HUGE THANKS to David for his professionalism, prompt replies and most of all giving me a GREAT deal. Awesome David, I'm super happy and will be doing business with you again soon.
   This piece is a present to my dad from my brother and myself. It's a special order and we had to wait for approx 6 weeks from the time I placed the order. David asked for a 20% deposit and the balance was paid last week, I took delivery of the watch this morning. Here are some pics, sorry my iPhone pics are crappy and David gave me permission to use his  Same watch anyway.

I wonder how many times a day the FedEx guy has some customer come out to his truck and take a picture of him scanning their package.
Beautiful watch by the way. |

Thanks to Alll for your kind comments and I did pass on the well wishes to dad.
He just came back from the AD, had to resize the bracelet, AD charged him $100 for the service   And he also bumped into X06verdm (Mitch) at the AD.

I've never been a fan of gold watches, but this is really stunning. I love the contrast with the dial. Bravo.

You and your brother are extraordinary people for wanting to present your dad with the "crown". Thanks for sharing the experience. DSW also sent the FedEx truck to my house, and I'll never forget the experience.
