I just had to do it...! Pulled the trigger for the 11th time!
After I've been hunting left and right for my new focus watch-the 116234, blue stick markers dial,WG bezel and Roulette DW I finally found what I was looking for...a NOS one with box (no cert) and papers. I know that it hasn't got the "cert." (is that even a word or just common swenglish )
After dicussing the lack of "cert" issue with some experts and friends that also collect watches, I decided to neglect the "cert"issue after the seller encouraged me to go to our local AD to have it checked out for whatever concerns I might have...
Anyway,back on topic...a whisky was called for to assist me regarding this unpacking matter. (A couple of cats as well : ) )

After hunting down the FedEx guy, the package was finally in my car:


Bonnie, one of our Ragdoll cats was surely interested:


Interesting whisky:



Now our other cat starts to feed of the plastic tape, a common view around here:



Exciting;


Nothing beats that crown:


Getting close:




Boom!!



A wristie!

The dial is blue my friends (really hard to see, though). Tried to capture it but it wasn't easy, a few more wristies with the plastic still on:





Sure looks black in some light:



A bit of blue finally shows:

Nicest example of a DJ I have seen in my opinion. Typically it is not my favorite model, but this one is very good looking. Congrats sir and enjoy it!

Beautiful, classic and timeless.

PS....I'm having a drink in the same glass. I guess we have the same glassware set. We also have a nosy cat that has to be involved in everything. LOL
