Icon7 Come to Papa...FedEx Inbound...





Bad news is I'm stuck downtown for meetings and dinner all day tomorrow, so will be later in the early evening before full pics, but will do best to get a few posted before I leave the house.

Cheers all

Let me lower the bar right now, what Ben did cannot be replicated. Mine is just a simple incoming...and maybe a few great shots...and if everyone is REALLY nice, a video of the seal cutting. That's right, the ability to smell the Patek air straight from Switzerland escaping from the plastic
