Incoming to make the Ultimate Pair
I was lucky enough to get the call from my AD just before xmas to say my deep sea blue had arrived (and people say you can't get a SS in the UK ).

Has a real presence about it as you'd expect and after regretting passing up on one 2 years ago, I just new I had to have.

I've placed him next to my Daytona - completely different looks, to me that's as good as it gets.

I should know this but I don't. Took a couple of links out, can be nicely adjusted (slide) quite a bit.
