1st post & Incoming... :)
Hi All,

Long time lurker here, but very rarely post (in fact this might be my first).

I've been collecting a short while, a speedy, Explorer 1, BBGMT and even added a Wimbledon DJ back in February... it really is an addiction :)

After popping in to my AD on Friday to enquire merely to see one, exactly 24 hours later I walked out with a brand new BB58 in Blue... this thing is a real beauty and the blue dial is unbelievable in the sunlight.

I've attached a pic (I'm still learning this photography lark). If I need to make more posts before uploading pictures, then I guess I'll just have to be more of an active participant on these boards! :)

Sounds like a hostage situation. Hope they treated you well during those 24 hours.

Cheers

Never seen it like in the picture. The blue Looks amazing indeed.

It might be my poor photoshop skills, but I don't think any picture could do it justice.

I have to say I've never been a fan of the faux patina look - which was why I kept away from the 58. That said, the comfort of this thing leans me towards adding the black (OG) version at same stage!
