I spend one full day at Tokyo to hunt this down as a second hand watch, and after almost two hours of bowing & nodding in one shop at Ginza this mind condition SBGR055 was mine. :thumbup:

I have to add that it was the most pleasant experience in an AD I have ever had. Finally I was escorted outside the shop to sunshine and the well packed watch with all the bells & whistles was given to me in proper Japanese style with deep final bows. :clap: Beats online shopping 10-0 any day.

I intended to wear my C9 FLE today, but the weather was so foul this morning I grabbed my Jumbo Diver instead

Thanks Kari, much appreciated :D

I was surprised when having a "moan" in the A.D. on Wednesday they had both this one, and the North
Face in stock :shock:

Tried the North Face, but it didn't really suit me - sat on my wrist, if you know what I mean? - good job
all our wrists are different eh :?:

I am sure you will be delighted with yours when it arrives :thumbup:
Look forward to your "super" pics :D
It really is,....... jolly nice \:D/

Thanks Dave but I don't know about the super pics; sun is rare now :(

My AD just gave me just an IOU letter for black when collected two other BBs. They said I might get mine within few days or weeks or... :?
