T minus .....

Ive had some great news today.... and now I'm counting down the hours minutes and seconds till I pick up my baby from APSC (via Marcus) on Saturday after it going away for 8 weeks for a little work (re-DLC coating the case back as it was coming off in strange cloud like formations and also a minor date change issue, they have had it longer now than I have owned it, , so now I'm hoping to re-kindle my bond with it and finally get to join in and post some wrist shots with you fine people!

The Bumblebee is coming home to its hive at last

Ta Dah !!!!!

Guys.... got my bee back ....i am so happy i cant tell you !!
For those who know what happened. AP in Le Brassus think it was due to a Chemical reaction to a previous owners aftershave?? but they couldnt be totally sure, but they have re-DLC coated the case back and it looks Brand New again the before and after pictures of the case back are below!
Good to be back guys !

Glad you have your BB back finally, Colin!
Her backside looks even more gorgeous now after the cosmetic surgery! :
By the way, did AP mention which brand of aftershave is so corrosive?

Congrats on getting your baby back! If the aftershave can do that to the DLC coating, wonder what the previous owner's face look like.
