Southpaw incoming!!!

Put my name on this one the day it was announced in April of 2022. It's the first left handed watch I have seen that works for me. The Panerai's and Pelagos are both too large for my 6.5 wrist. I went to visit my AD last week and tried on the display model VTNR and reiterated my interest in it. My SA said "We're getting a shipment in this week so this one is not going to be needed as a display much longer." Two days later I got the text. I picked it up today and I leave for vacation tomorrow. Now I'll know the time at my destination and at home. : )

My favorite vehicle I’ve ever owned. Gas mileage is horrible but I only do about 5k miles a year so not a huge deal. I was considering a Bronco and a Range Rover (among other things) and the Defender scratches both itches for the most part.
