New in! Vintage gold!
Since I moved over here (NYC) for school I've been looking for a YG 1803 with a nice 5 min track dial for a while. So I met Morgan Cardet and Matthew Bain, obviously from Matthew Bain, I told him that I was looking for one.

But wait, you know what... Actually, it was Matthew Bain's gorgeous wife that told me about Matthew Bain at the Hodinkee event in the end of July! I told her that I was looking for one and she told me to speak to her husband and Mr Cardet. So thank you mrs Bain!

Anyhow... It's a beautiful 1803 from 1966 (2.0mil series) pictures! A delayed birthday present for my 23rd birthday! It makes a great team with the GMT!

I'm going to Wempe or Tourneau's tomorrow for a new strap and hopefully a buckle.
