Incoming alert - about to join the club
Well, after drooling over the AP forum for a little while, I decided to do what most everyone here has done at one point or another and relied on David SW to come through for me and get my grail watch. Anxiously awaiting delivery on Saturday of the first AP in my collection. This will go along nicely with my Patek and Vacheron to complete my Holy Trinity and I can't wait. Pics coming soon....

Unexpected gift arrived today....
A package arrived from Breitling USA today which contained an unexpected surprise......

Incoming: Speedmaster X-33 Skywalker.
Being the mechanical watch die-hard I am I never thought I would be getting one of these... But the opportunity came and I jumped on it.I believe it is a good complement to my Speedy collection of two Pros (Hello Houston and Apollo XV 35th) and a Bienne restored c1045 from 1976.Very interesting watch, functions well thought and incredibly lightweight.Enjoying it very much.

I now understand why Rolex loves waiting lists...
Because while waiting for my DaytonaC i couldn't help myself and picked up this dynamic duo.
