So today while i was out doing this

http://warriordash.com/register2012_new_south_wales.php

and getting covered in mud from head to toe, partly due to my stupidity and partly to the fine Sydney weather we have had, my AD called and said that something arrived for me.

So it was a very quick drive home followed by a hot shower and a dash to the AD to pick this up.

I like the watch but I am not yet sure whether it is a keeper. Will have to decide in the next few weeks

One very interesting fat for the Aussies out there is that this watch was actually cheaper RRP here than it was in NYC when you add the NY sales tax of 8.875%!

Hope you enjoyed the pics!

Thanks Pete, good to be back although after 5 weeks off work it is a hard adjustment

Sorry I missed the gtg, it looked like a good one and it would have been good to see all of you guys. Would be keen for another one if anyone else is up for one!

Thanks Dalip

It's the size that is making me unsure....my 190 sits really well on me, this one doesn't seem to sit on as well..i havent had a chance to wear it properly yet so once i get a chance i will decide.

Understood. Will be interesting to see if it's something you adjust to.

It takes a bit of time to get used to wearing 47mm but once you do it is awesome! Give yourself a good month at least!

Rollie2011 · 13 February 2012, 02:11 AM

Looks awesome on you!

I would keep it without a doubt!

ocwatching · 13 February 2012, 08:36 AM

limenko · 15 February 2012, 07:54 PM

Thanks all!

After a few days of wearing it for a few days i am getting used to the size. I have worn it with a suit and it just fits under the cuff although a few people have commented on how a big watch it was.

rennisk · 16 February 2012, 07:20 AM

Great looking piece - congrats and wear it in the best of health!

There are few things in this world that feel as good as opening the box and peeling back the "curtain".... Just did this with a 114 I picked up in NYC last week. Spent most of the afternoon and nice pint of Sam Adams justifying it in my head before going back for the kill.
