INCOMING! - Better Late Than Never :)

OK folks. With the help of some of the most awesome and my most favorite members, this incoming came together.

I was in the market for a watch around the 10k price point, more or less.

After considering several pieces and after many many behind the scenes discussions, the realization was made that I've probably talked more than a dozen people out of selling this watch, and I've probably talked another dozen people into buying it

But in all this time, I've never owned this watch. Considering my recent obsession with Jubilee, Oysterflex and Everest Bands, in addition to me truly believing this is one the best watches ever made, acquiring a BLNR became an easy and obvious choice.

Without further ado, my brand new 116710BLNR!

Oh and of course I had to try out my jubilee bracelet.
