Incoming WG 1803 - thanks Jacek!

I was originally looking for a yellow gold 1803, but when this white gold one came up at HQ Milton I had to have it.

Not only was Jacek an absolute pleasure to deal with; he also hand-delivered the watch to Tokyo (OK, he was coming anyway...), and we went out to dinner in Shinjuku and talked watches for a couple of hours over fine Japanese fare and beers.

Definitely the highlight of my year so far. Thanks Jacek!

And a WG 1803 will work well with straps of all colors as you've discovered. :thumbsups:
