Sooooooo I accidentally bought something

Two things actually:

Today FedEx dropped off this mint Y serial LV with MK1 dial and bezel
Notably it took months of searching to get a set with the original bezel that is lime green

Don't be mistaken. This green next to a later green is IMHO gorgeous. I've flipped many later LVs and this is my favourite color.




Oh yeah and for a bit of flash got this





Lets say the lady isn't too happy

But I got that covered. Diamond ring on its way according to my jeweller ;)
So lots of good news today!

Nice Will. How would you compare the color of the Y LV vs. later? I know the Y and F inserts are lighter but are they brighter, bolder too -- stand out more?
