Congrats, Bill!

I've got one of these that which was also kindly donated by Nathan. It's brilliant!

On my recent trip to Finland I took both my sub and my AT (well, it was a watch gtg after all) and had one of the watches in the vault in my pocket all the time. The watches were fine and having the vault in my pocket was comfortable and never bothered me, even when Andreas and I were climbing through old WW2 trenches.

The Long-Haired General is gutted she didn't win, though, since that would have forced my hand to buy her another watch!
