Grail territory. New Jumbo...
A lot of threads here lately on new Jumbos. Add me to the list. After selling my 15400 last year because it just didn't feel right, I made the mistake of trying a 15202 at a boutique. Game over. Meet my newest keeper. Had to let some go but so worth it. The bracelet screws are a bear to budge. Instead of butchering the screws, I'll try the NYC boutique. One word to describe this piece...PERFECT. It's a stunner.

My new PO has arrived !
Well, after chasing down several Fed.Ex drivers, about an hour on the phone with Fed.Ex, and 5 more hours of waiting for the (correct) driver to get back to the main shipping distribution center, I FINALLY got my watch !! Here is some quick unboxing pictures, taken in a hurry in my car lol, and one wrist shot of my new Planet Ocean !! I absolutely LOVE this watch. The Lume on it is fantastic, I love Omegas new green/blueish glow !! There was no sun out when I got the watch, (it was just about dusk out), and the thing was still glowing like crazy ! It's a perfect fit for my wrist ! This is my new everyday watch. Thanks again for everyone's support
