I just received the watch around 40 minutes ago! I am working on photos as I type! I am speechless and unsure whether I want to wear it or not. It's beyond what I expected. It looks brand new. The chamfers on the case and the bezel look brand new and the new dial is more charcoal than my old one as mine had faded a lot. Not sure what to do! I am very emotional as I type.
I even had second thoughts about removing the plastics from the bracelet and the case and now I almost regret doing it. I probable should've keep them on and put it straight in the safe. I almost want to tear up because of how happy I am. This watch means a lot to me and most of you haven't heard the story behind it. I've owned this same watch in three different occasions and it keeps coming back to me. I will share the story when I post my thread and also a review thread on the 5402SA. It won't take much longer I promise. The only bad thing is that the APSC said the calendar wheel was going to be replaced and offer to comp it as a discount on the final bill but they didn't. Now I am waiting to hear back from them and understand what happened and what they'll do about it. Still very happy and emotional.

I am unsure why I am still so emotional for you!
 Glad that it came back spanking new, really look forward for the pictures. There must be a reason to be top of the league.

Sorry for the wait on the pictures. Still downloading the Photshop Elements to process the Leica Raw Images. Wish I would've know that before using the Leica and not knowing that my Apple Aperture does not support the .RWL format of some Leicas. Another 30 mins. or so. I should've used my Canon or Nikon instead!!!

Still having problems processing the images. The Photoshop Elements software can recognize the file format of the images!!! Don't know why???
