Another,,,, Incoming!! Thread.

I was at my local AD a week ago picking up my GMT-Master II 'Pepsi' from a service. While I was waiting I did a little window shopping and stumbled upon this 36mm Oyster Perpetual in Red Grape. I immediately thought of my wife who loves the color purple and would probably really like this piece.

This afternoon I took her back to have a look. Yup. Just as I suspected. "Ooooh! PURPLE!" Well, it came home with us.

Got the same exact piece a couple of years ago for my wife...she's also a huge purple fan. I'm sure your wife will love it.

Huge congrats to the missus!

Thanks everyone. She's very happy which is always good thing.

Regarding the photo. The dial IS a bit dark. I applied a radial filter here with a large feather. It helped I think. I'm a wildlife shooter. Watches aren't necessarily my specialty.
