My grail just landed....
It's been a long long wait but it was well worth it.

Hopefully the RG Rubberclad will still get its share of wrist time, with the arrival of this PP.

I was in same boat 3 months ago - didn't think I'd want to wear any coloured gold pieces. Then the desire to sport them came on in waves!
