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.
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. 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

Re: Non CW of the Day
Thanks Kari, much appreciated
I was surprised when having a "moan" in the A.D. on Wednesday they had both this one, and the North
Face in stock
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
Look forward to your "super" pics
It really is,....... jolly nice
