116610LV incoming

As i promised, here are photos of my new acquisition. It seems as if I had a bit of flipping fever in the past week but I came out in the end with exactly what I wanted from the get go. I was beginning to think it was out of reach but thanks to David I have a very very distracting timepiece on my wrist. I'll try and do a review a bit later on but for now all I can say is that this green is very very chameleon-like. The changes it takes on in different lighting are amazing. Without further adieu......HERE ARE SOME PICS!
