'Twas the day before Christmas...

...and the AD had a present for me. I had gotten "the call", actually a text, about a week before as we were getting ready to go on a cruise. "Are you still interested in a 126618LB?" I was beside myself. I'd been looking here at some preowned ones for the last few months figuring it would be awhile before I saw a new one. Needless to say, it turned out to be a great Christmas!

Gorgeous! Was seriously considering this one and decided to go with the TT Sea Dweller instead so that I could pursue a DD40 in the future.

Tried one of these on in 2019 before "the madness" went full tilt and have not forgot how it felt on my wrist.

Wow, a lot of "Incoming" and "I got the call" threads lately. This is promising and exciting. I hope it's what I think it is.
Congratulations OP and that's a perfect Christmas gift.

Thank you! Love love it. Something about having your arm wrapped in all gold that makes it so special.
