Couldn't resist

I don't frequent the board too much (probably a good thing since once I start browsing I end up buying). A while ago I started researching my next purchase and saw the BLNR, I couldn't get it out of my head and started discussions with some trusted sellers here. Long story short I dropped into the local AD on Saturday and they just received one. Sure I paid a bit more than going through a TS but wearing it out of the store and having my name on the paperwork is worth a little extra in my book!
I think this is a nice addition to my Milgauss which was my daily for the last 4 years or so.
I know there are plenty of pics already but I want to add my own

I'm actually thinking of flipping the Milgauss for the new blue face one when it's available, have to see it in the flesh first though...
