Icon20 A Polar Experience Awaits

To begin, I have to THANK Kilyung and Fremstar for their assistance on my latest acquisition.

This POLAR beauty will be joining my Sea-Dweller and I in Afghanistan.

Seller's photo, will post wrist shots when in hand.

Now for the 7+ day wait

Congrats on a nice pick-up. I'm still enjoying mine very much but have that nagging sensation I really want the 216570.

Only 7 days? That's awesome. When I was in Iraq 23 years ago it was 30 days at least. At least I didn't have to walk uphill to school in the snow. Both ways.
