Really glad for you Michael. I bet you're glad you can finally pick it up, after waiting for so long!

Looking forward to seeing it IRL

Taking watch pics this morning.

I say this every time, but without TRF, acquiring my grail would have been a crap shoot at best. I pestered and badgered fellow TRF members, who responded without hesitation with advice and guidance. So thank you - Karl, Jeff, John and Marcello I owe you all a beer or three

Jed and Rick - absolute gentleman - thanks for making this happen.

My Double Red Sea Dweller Mark II, thin case 1.7mill

(images just don't do this watch justice)
