I have read with passion and enthusiasm the many watches presented by this prolific poster ( you know who I mean). IMO there's none more prominent and famous as this one, which recently celebrated it's ten year anniversary with the Man. Now most of you will know the watch I'm talking about.
It is often said that a watch comes to you and being a lazy hunter, I more or less abide by this dictum. So when this perfect, freshly serviced and complete specimen presented itself to me, I didn't have the courage to turn it down. After having vicariously enjoyed it for so long, I feel I know it well, even though I have never had the pleasure of seeing one in the metal!
World timers seem to be getting a lot of attention recently with the anniversary and enamel models, which are beyond mere mortals like myself. So this is my consolation prize but I'm not complaining as it's in my favorite metal.
Now that it's on my wrist and as I re-read Amanico's thread, it takes on a whole new meaning and clarity
and you will excuse me if I don't elaborate or reiterate what Nico has so succinctly and correctly described in the 5110P.
As a traveller's watch it will be with me as I as I embark on a vacation tomorrow in Japan.
A very Merry Christmas to all and thanks for looking!
Best
