Unexpected Incoming over the weekend!!

My wife and I were in NOLA for the weekend and had no intentions of visiting any ADs. We had had just left Tiffany and Co where she ended up getting her early VDay present and decided to stop into Adler's on the way back to the hotel. This happened to be in the case and when I asked to see try it on the sales women was definetly baffled as she knew it was suppose to be in the back locked up.

They graciously stated they would hold it for a couple of hours while we stepped out to grab a drink and a bite to eat. After a brief discussion here she is. Only problem I have encounted is my wife has been wearing it since Saturday! I'm having a real problem getting her to put her DJ back on and finally got a hold of it today and tossed another link in to make it fit. Sorry for the two side photos, I tend to have this issue when taken with the iPhone.

Re: iPhone pics. "Edit" the photo by cropping/rotating and that should work.

Mudd, well done sir... I have been to the Canal St. Adlers many times to drool and browse... Great folks there with an absolute ton of New Orleans tradition..
My Dad got his there back in the 70's.. Hope you had fun in our fair city.

Thanks again for all of the kind replies. I will say the watch is one of the most comfortable pieces I have worn. I wear a SD4K daily and it feels like it may need a diet. Granted, I'm sure that will change will change once it's back on a normal basis. The Daytona is truly a work of art.

I have not tried it. We ended up at Luke splitting some oysters and chatting about the purchase. I will definately have to give Felix's a try next time.
