Incoming... finally. DJII Azurro Blue Fluted Bezel on its way...

I've read posts... I've lurked.... I've been in ADs and scoured the gray... I've listened to how many love the new DJ41, I've tried on the DJ2...

I nearly bought a Cartier Roadster... then a Parmigiani (it was stunning but the depreciation in'value??) ...

But I kept coming back to the Azurro Roman DJ2 with fluted bezel.

Can't wait for the amazing Thanh (Takuya) to get his $ and ship me my new baby... Friday? Monday? The anticipation!

Better pictures upon arrival (if my lovely bride doesn't lock me out... "a watch? Look at your phone!" But until then, I continue to look at the pic from my first AD visit on this bad boy.
