Icon20 The joy of removing stickers

I just completed a fantastic deal with train-time (Tim), great guy and I could not be happier with the end result. I know have a brand new M serial Sub LV to enjoy, complete with all stickers attached. It has probably been a year since my last purchase from a AD were I had the joy of removing all those little stickers. I have been eyeing the LV for a couple of years now but finally decided it was time to make it happen, amazing watch I must say. The dark green insert looks amazing, I like it more than the green crystal on my old Milgauss GV, the maxi dial and hands are stunning as well. Here are some pics., today is a great day.

Congratulations

You’re supposed to take that plastic off…

There is nothing like taking off all the plastic stickers. I even kept all mine I stuck them back onto a clear plastic bag and put them with the box.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who did it (twice for me)

Man, that watch is nice! Makes me wonder if I should have gotten the green one instead of the black dial? The important decisions in life are so difficult to make!

Thanks to everyone for the replies. I am kicking myself for waiting so long to pull the trigger on the LV, what a great looking watch, I could have been enjoying one for years now.
