Unexpected Incoming!
I’m taking a vacation to Norway and live in rural Idaho. I save a ton of money driving to SLC to fly out so I was driving 3 hours before getting on the 10 hour flight. While my wife was driving I thought “Why not?”and texted my AD “I’m hopping on a plane for Norway in about 4 hours and wanted to make sure a blue sky dweller didn’t arrive in todays shipment ”. He said “not quite but who knows what could come in while you are gone.” An hour and 20 minutes later I arrive in SLC and stop for some lunch and he calls me “Where are you right now? Come over right now”. The rest is history! I chalk this up to clean living and a great AD!

Beautiful piece. I love mine too. It actually gets the least amount of wrist time and I thing that’s just because the fluted bezel is too much for me sometimes. I love the movement though and why I’m holding on to mine.
